In a July 2025 article from leading Luxembourg news outlet l’Essentiel, Daniel Atz was featured as an expert voice on the growing number of Americans applying for Luxembourgish passports. The article, titled “Les Américains plébiscitent le passeport luxembourgeois” (Americans Favor the Luxembourg Passport), explores the motivations and background of this accelerating trend.
“We’ve seen a clear increase in inquiries from Americans with Luxembourg ancestry who are eager to reclaim their roots — not just for travel, but for a renewed sense of cultural identity,” says Daniel Atz, founder of LuxCitizenship.
Daniel also notes that many of these applicants are seeking dual citizenship for reasons beyond mobility:
“Global uncertainty, remote work, and family ties to Europe are driving this new wave.”
Why This Trend Matters
According to Daniel’s 2024 LUXCITIZENSHIP Study, over 90% of Americans seeking Luxembourg nationality are doing so not just for passport convenience, but for long-term lifestyle and heritage-based reasons. The l’Essentiel article highlights this emotional and strategic dimension of dual citizenship.
