The Federal Government has adopted the dual citizenship for Germany-born youth of immigrant families

Mariana Andrei - Communication Coordinator

29 October 2014

The Federal Council of Germany adopted in last month's plenary session a bill allowing dual citizenship for young immigrants born in Germany.

According to this law, children born in Germany from immigrant parents will no longer have to choose between German citizenship and that of their parents. They will be able to keep both citizenships if they prove they went to school in Germany for at least 6 years, they obtained a vocational qualification or graduated a form of education, or if they lived in Germany for 8 years before their 21st birthday.

In the past young people born in Germany from immigrant parents had to inform German authorities about the citizenship they decided to keep, until their 23rd anniversary. According to the new law, the verification will be automatic and young people of foreign origin will be entitled to use their rights as German citizens.
