Where to find the official list of notaries in Luxembourg?
The official, up-to-date list of notaries is published by the Chamber of Notaries of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (notariat.lu). It lists notarial offices by locality, there is no "ranking", as each notary is competent across the whole territory.
Rather than choosing at random, we work with a network of partner notaries and coordinate the deed for you: document preparation, appointment, signing and follow-up.
What is the notary's role?
The notary authenticates the deed, verifies the parties' identity and capacity, advises on legal scope, keeps the original and handles formalities (publication, registration). Their intervention gives the deed evidentiary and enforceable force.
For a company, the notary mainly intervenes at incorporation (capital companies), on statutory amendments, share transfers and capital operations.
When is a notarial deed mandatory?
A notarial deed is required notably for: incorporating a SARL, SA or SOPARFI, certain statutory amendments, capital increases/decreases, property sales and mortgages. The SARL-S can be formed by private deed.

Non-bankruptcy certificate: what is it and how to obtain it?
