Find your lost pension in Luxembourg: your CNAP insurance career

Luxembourg holds your insurance career at CNAP, and the online account needs a Luxembourg registration number alongside a recognised digital identity. We identify what is in your name and hand you the route in. $99, full refund if we find nothing material.

  • ICO registered
  • No percentage, no commission
  • Refund if nothing material

If you worked in Luxembourg and moved on, changed employers, or lost the paperwork years ago, you are in the right place. Pensions are rarely gone. Most of the time the scheme simply lost track of you.

What your Pension Identification Report delivers

Nobody sits between you and your pension. You act the moment the evidence lands.

Honest access-map for the central pension record in Luxembourg

For Luxembourg, the central record is not publicly searchable from your employment history alone. Your Pension Identification Report delivers the honest access-map: what exists, where your record sits, the deadlines and traps that affect your entitlement, the exact route in, and your entitlement position. The record in Luxembourg sits behind a national credential wall (LuxTrust / MyGuichet.lu), often keyed to a residency status that no longer applies to departed expats. This is exactly why the human tier exists here: automation can map the door, but it cannot walk through a credential wall for a departed expat. In the Enhanced Pension Identification Report and the Global Pension Identification Report, under your signed Information Request Authority (IRA) the PensionHunter research team prepares your information request for the authority through the official channel, written and ready for you to send, the work no chatbot or portal can do.

Identification & research only, no financial advice

Doing it yourself in Luxembourg, the honest position

Credentials are not usually the bottleneck here. Non-residents can authenticate against the Luxembourg portal with an EU digital identity from their home country. The Luxembourg-specific call is the under ten years refund against preserve fork, which is irreversible once accepted and restorable only in a narrow window.

Identification only. We do not open credential-protected accounts, and we do not transfer, negotiate, or make decisions regarding any pension.

Verified country facts

Every line below is drawn from the verified country dossier. We never fabricate facts; candidate items are gated out of customer-facing copy.

Why it matters

A former Luxembourg worker who left with UNDER 120 months (10 years), and is still short even after EU/bilateral aggregation, can have their EMPLOYEE contributions refunded by CNAP (remboursement des cotisations); accepting it irreversibly destroys their Luxembourg rights, restorable only before age 65.

If you do nothing

The pension is never awarded automatically, a departed worker who never files leaves it dormant; the refund-vs-preserve fork is never triggered without a demande.

Deadlines that matter in Luxembourg

  • Voluntary continued insurance: 6 months after loss of affiliation (else converts to assurance facultative)
  • Frontalier filing: ~6 months before retirement, via the residence-country institution
  • Refund restoration window: Before age 65 and before any personal-pension right
  • Refund settle: 3 months once decided ("sous peine de déchéance")

How records are reached

Personal-record access wall: MyGuichet.lu, LuxTrust / Luxembourg eID / EU eIDAS device; prerequisite: a 13-digit matricule

The carrière d’assurance is the record; CNAP issues an estimation on request; frontaliers file via their residence institution

From abroad: Non-residents can authenticate against MyGuichet.lu using an EU eID from their home country, so credentials are not usually the bottleneck, the real Luxembourg-specific call is the under-120-months refund-vs-preserve fork, which is irreversible once accepted and only restorable in a narrow window before age 65.

Cross-border

Frontalier core: file in country of residence (France CARSAT / Belgium SFP / Germany DRV) → routes to CNAP; partial pensions per country; +non-EU bilaterals (US, CA, IN, BR…).
