Questions
Before you book
Which package do I need?
Citizenship by Descent / Declaration (€890) if you may already be German through your parents or ancestors. Full Naturalisation (Standard or by Marriage) (€1,690) if you are applying after years of residence or through marriage. Not sure? Book the free 15-minute call.
Can I keep my current citizenship?
Yes. Since the reform of June 2024, Germany allows dual and multiple citizenship. You no longer have to give up your existing nationality.
What level of German do I need?
B1 or higher, proven by a recognised certificate (for example Goethe or telc), a German school diploma, or a university degree completed in German.
What is the Einbürgerungstest?
A multiple-choice test with 33 questions about German law, society, history and values. You need 17 correct answers to pass. We give you preparation material.
I have lived in Germany for less than 8 years. Can I apply?
Possibly. With an integration course the requirement drops to 6 years, and special integration achievements can reduce it to 7. Spouses of German citizens can apply after 3 years of residence and 2 years of marriage.
How long does it take?
It depends mostly on your local Einbürgerungsbehörde and its backlog, often between 6 and 18 months from application to ceremony. We give you a realistic timeline after the eligibility check.
How much does it cost, and when do I pay?
€890 or €1,690 fixed, plus €250 per additional family member in the same application. Booking is free; we then email you a secure payment link for the total.
What is the government fee?
The official naturalisation fee is €255 per adult and €51 per minor child, paid directly to the authority and separate from our fee.
Can my children be included?
Yes. Minor children can often be naturalised together with a parent. Add them in the booking form for €250 each, and we handle the family as one case.
Can you guarantee citizenship?
No. The authority decides. We make sure your application is complete and correct before it is filed, and we tell you openly if we see a risk.
