Who must appear in person when applying for or renewing a Luxembourg passport and ID card?
Remember that Luxembourg requires ALL APPLICANTS (adults and minors) applying for or renewing passports and ID cards to appear in person at a Luxembourg passport and ID card office. Children 10 and older are required to be fingerprinted when applying for and renewing passports. 

In the United Sates, passport/ID card offices are located at the Luxembourg Embassy in Washington, D.C., the Consulate General in New York City and the Consulate General in San Francisco. You must go to the proper office based on the jurisdiction of the state in which you live. An appointment is required at all these offices and may be requested online.
