Luxembourg address format & examples

How to write a Luxembourgish address

Luxembourg may seem tricky when it comes to formatting an address since they have three official languages: Luxembourgish, French, and German. However, if you're wondering how to address a letter to Luxembourg, we've got the answer for you. On this page you'll find Luxembourgish address examples to help you get your letter formatted and squared away.

Smarty's suite of address validation tools for addresses in Luxembourg is the gold standard. Simply enter a Luxembourgish address, and we'll format, standardize, and validate it lickety-split. Address formatting in Luxembourg can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region
  2. Building number and street - List the building number first and the street name after without any separating punctuation.
  3. Postal code and city - The postal code comes first, followed by the city or town name
  4. Country - This is often shortened to LUX
