What is a petition?

A petition is a request addressed to the Chamber of Deputies. Any person registered in the National Register of Natural Persons (RNPP) who is at least 15 years old may submit a petition. There are two types of petition: public petitions and ordinary petitions.

Ordinary petition

To qualify as a petitioner, you must:

  • be at least 15 years old.
  • have a national identification number (‘matricule’) (CNS/social security number).

To submit your petition online, you must use a tool that is compatible with eAccess.

eAccess
LuxTrust

Connection using a LuxTrust product (card, signing stick) or an eID card

GouvID

Connection using a mobile device and the GouvID application

eIDAS

Connection with a digital identity from another European country

If you do not have an eAccess login tool, you can send your completed form with a notarised signature by post or hand it in personally at the Chamber of Deputies. To do so, bring your identity card and go to the reception of the Chamber of Deputies between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). Outside these hours, you will need to make an appointment.

What are the steps of an ordinary petition?

Please note that an ordinary petition does not allow you to collect signatures on this site and obtain a debate in the Chamber of Deputies.

Submit an ordinary petition

You can submit your ordinary petition online directly on this website , send it by post (having first authenticated your signature), or in person at the reception desk of the Chamber of Deputies between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). Outside these hours, you will need to make an appointment.

Wait for the decision on admissibility

The Petitions Committee examines whether your petition meets all the criteria.

Track the progress of your petition

In the event of a favourable decision, the Petitions Committee may, in particular, decide to

  • request a statement of position from the competent minister
  • refer the petition to a parliamentary committee responsible for the subject at hand
  • hear the petitions at one of its meetings, if appropriate in presence of experts or the concerned bodies
  • carry out site visits
  • order any other actions it deems useful.

The petitioner is informed of the Petitions Committee’s actions.
