In general, birth in Germany does not confer German citizenship if neither parent is German. However, children born on or after 1 January 2000 to non-German parents acquire German citizenship at birth if at least one parent: has a permanent residence permit (and has had this status for at least 3 years); and has been residing in Germany for at least 8 years. Such children will be required to apply successfully to retain German citizenship by the age of 23.

  • In general, birth in Germany does not confer German citizenship if neither parent is German. However, children born on or after 1 January 2000 to non-German parents acquire German citizenship at birth if at least one parent: has a permanent residence permit (and has had this status for at least 3 years); and has been residing in Germany for at least 8 years. Such children will be required to apply successfully to retain German citizenship by the age of 23. Assuming the laws are not changed prior to 2023, they will normally be required to prove they do not hold any foreign citizenship. Parents who are citizens of European Economic Area states or Switzerland are eligible to receive permanent resident permits after five years.
