Prerequisites
A citizenship card can only be issued if the existence of German citizenship has been established. To this end, the nationality authority shall examine
- whether and by what means you acquired German citizenship,
- whether and by what means you have lost your German citizenship again.
In addition to your personal information, information about the persons from whom you derive your nationality is therefore also required. Please seek advice from the authorities.
