Hi Everyone,
I am back again after a hiatus. I finally have all of my Phase I documents after conquering the various offices in Minnesota and Saskatchewan.
When I originally requested documents from the Luxembourg communes, I sent each an explanatory letter in French with a photocopy of the original document(s) from the Tables décennales (Familysearch.org). Thought I would make it easy for them.
Some communes sent me nice, official extracts back. Others just stamped the photocopies with their local seal and sent them back to me. I presume these stamped copies are official enough.
My concern is that the photocopies are quite illegible from a verification point of view. Has anyone had success with commune stamped photocopies of the original records rather than the nicer Extrait de l'acte de mariage/deces/naissance? I am hoping that the folks who review these have magical powers of understanding.
Thank you very much for your help.

I wrote to the Luxembourg National Archives to request some pre-1900/circa 1900 documents and they sent me photocopied registrations with a stamp and official's signature. I mentioned the reason I was requesting them. I presume they would have advised had I needed to send other documents else. The Ministry of Justice is going to verify birth/marriage/death documents before providing a "certificate of descent" to applicants.

Anyone receive just a pdf of a birth certificate from Luxembourg? I did from Rambrouch. It is stamped with their seal and signed in blue by a representative, but I'm assuming I need a hard copy sent to me, not a pdf. I originally explained what it was for. Does anyone know if that will suffice, or do I need to contact them again and get the hard copy sent over?
When I requested one from Beaufort, they mailed an extract along with documents in German and Luxembourgish.

You should probably contact the ministry of justice and ask them in an email - that way if they reply by email then just print out the pdf and the email and put them together if they accept it.
On a side note, I had to do a similar application for France Nationality and I printed out the pdf on our colour copier at work - it looks pretty real, not like a photocopy, they also didn't stipulate if it had to be a real or electronic copy, but they did give me shit that I printed it on Letter (8.5 x 11") instead of A4!
