Are you eligible for German Citizenship?

 

Germany’s citizenship laws have changed. Whether you live outside Germany, were born to a German parent, or have historical ties to the country, you may now be eligible for German citizenship — even dual or multi citizenships.

Recent Changes Make It Easier to Obtain German Citizenship

You may be eligible if:

  • You are a descendant of a German citizen

  • Your German mother or father lost citizenship due to outdated laws

  • Your family was persecuted by the Nazi regime (1933–1945)

  • You lost citizenship when acquiring another nationality

  • You have a strong connection to Germany (personal, economic, or professional)

Cut-Off Deadline: August 19, 2031
Don’t miss your chance if you qualify under new mother/father descent laws.
