Acquisition of citizenship by birth

WHAT

Children can become German citizens at the time of their birth if the parent(s) are German.

HOW

Children born in Germany have an automatic right to German nationality if their mother, their father or both parents are German. Children of foreign nationals take German nationality if they are born in Germany if, at the time of their birth, Germany has been the habitual, lawful place of residence of at least one parent for eight years and that parent has unlimited right of residence. Children must decide when they are aged between 18 and 23 whether they wish to take German nationality or retain the nationality of their parents.
