German nationalization
Final Beneficiary – Control Situation
June 10, 2022Obligation to Register Beneficial Owners in the RUB in Colombia
June 13, 2022Since 20.08.2021, persons born after the entry into force of the Basic Law (after 23.05.1949) can acquire German citizenship by declaration.
This applies to persons who, due to previously applicable gender-discriminatory regulations in citizenship law, either could not acquire German citizenship by birth or lost their German citizenship acquired by birth again.
In particular, they belong to the beneficiary group if:
- You were born after 23.05.1949 and.
- Your ancestors did not acquire German citizenship due to gender-specific unequal treatment. Thus, especially if:
- You are a child of a German parent and you did not acquire German citizenship from him or her, or.
- you are the child of a mother who lost her German citizenship by marriage to a non-German spouse before your birth, or
- children who have lost their German citizenship acquired by birth by legitimation because their German mother married their non-German father after their birth
- They are descended from a person entitled under No. 1 to No. 3.
Since there is a different family history behind each case, we will be happy to examine your case, especially whether you are entitled to acquire German citizenship by descent.
