In Plain Terms
Your path to a German passport, handled by an expert
Naturalisation in Germany is a paper-heavy, authority-driven process with strict requirements and long timelines. One missing document or a wrong form can set you back months. Our specialist takes the entire process off your plate — from the first eligibility check to the day you hold your German passport.
One specialist, start to finish
A named case manager owns your application from eligibility check to passport — no handoffs, no call centres.
We do the paperwork
Every form, translation, certification and appointment prepared to the Einbuergerungsbehoerde's standard.
Complete the first time
No missing documents, no avoidable rejections. We submit right the first time so you are not sent back.
Pathways
How you can become a German citizen
There are several routes to German citizenship. The right one depends on your residence history, family situation and nationality. We assess your case and confirm the best path forward.
Standard naturalisation
For: Foreign nationals living in Germany · Residence: 8 years (or 6–7 with integration course / special achievements)
The most common path. After 8 years of lawful residence (reducible to 6 with an integration course or 7 with special integration achievements), you can apply for German citizenship.
Naturalisation by marriage
For: Spouses of German citizens · Residence: 3 years of residence + 2 years of marriage
A faster route for spouses of German nationals. Requires at least 3 years of lawful residence in Germany and at least 2 years of marriage at the time of application.
Naturalisation by descent
For: People with German parents or ancestors · Residence: No residence requirement
If you were born to a German parent or have German ancestry, you may already be a German citizen by law — or qualify for a simplified declaration procedure.
Dual citizenship
For: Applicants who want to keep their current nationality · Residence: Depends on pathway
Since June 2024, Germany allows dual and multiple citizenship without restrictions. You no longer have to give up your current nationality to become German.
Requirements
What you need to qualify
German naturalisation has clear requirements. We check every one against your profile so you know exactly where you stand before you start.
Lawful residence
8 years in Germany (6 with integration course, 7 with special achievements, 3 for spouses of German citizens).
Settlement permit or EU right
You must hold a Niederlassungserlaubnis, EU Blue Card, or equivalent residence title at the time of application.
German language — B1 or higher
Proven by a Goethe or telc certificate, a German school diploma, or a university degree completed in German.
Naturalisation test (Einbuergerungstest)
33 multiple-choice questions on German law, history and values. 17 correct answers to pass. We provide preparation material.
Clean criminal record
No significant criminal convictions. Minor fines are usually acceptable.
Financial self-sufficiency
You must be able to support yourself and your family without social benefits (Buergergeld / Sozialhilfe).
Commitment to the German constitution
A formal declaration of loyalty to the Basic Law (Grundgesetz) and the democratic order.
Renunciation of previous citizenship
No longer required since June 2024 — Germany now allows full dual and multiple citizenship.
