German citizenship by descent
Does your family have German roots? Were your parents or grandparents German citizens?
Then you may be entitled to German citizenship by descent.
According to the German Nationality Act (StAG), citizenship is in many cases acquired automatically through descent from a German parent – regardless of where you were born.
This rule is also known as Jus Sanguinis (“right of blood”) and applies to children, grandchildren and, in certain cases, great-grandchildren of German citizens.
This rule is also known as Jus Sanguinis (“right of blood”) and applies to children, grandchildren and, in certain cases, great-grandchildren of German citizens.
Furthermore, Section 5 of the German Nationality Act (StAG) allows for the acquisition of German citizenship by declaration if it was not automatically conferred under previous legal provisions – for example, in cases of gender-based discrimination. In this context, a clear assessment of eligibility is crucial to determine whether your family lineage gives rise to a legal claim under Section 5 of the StAG. This assessment carefully considers even complex family constellations and intergenerational circumstances. In many of these cases, neither residency in Germany nor German language skills are required, making consultation and application processes possible worldwide.
