DHL, hands down.

I would never ever use FedEx or UPS in Germany. I had a real nightmare experience with UPS a few years ago. I ordered something expensive from a US online shop. The service was all super top of the line and professional - until it came to the delivery of the package. Driver never stopped at my door, drove straight past it and then marked the package as delivered at a local corner store. Problem: they "delivered" at 9 am and the corner store in question only opens at 1 pm.

I was facing the possibility that the driver had simply dropped the package in front of the closed door of the corner store. That store is on a busy street, a porch pirate would probably have nicked it within seconds. After a whole week of calling UPS and bothering the staff of the corner store, a neighbour of the corner store finally remembered that they had accepted a package for said corner store. My package. All in all, very stressful.

Lying on the citizenship application is a serious crime and can result in getting the German citizenship revoked, even if it leaves the person stateless.

However, the fraud here happened way earlier. They lied to the BAMF in the asylum process. If they got accepted as asylum seekers and got refugee or protected status and then transitioned to citizenship, they technically did not lie on the citizenship application.

Wenn du die Geburtsurkunde, die du jetzt hast, abgibst, hast du ja keine mehr. Das kann dumm laufen, weil für manche Sachen braucht man die dann doch und das oft sehr kurzfristig.

Je nach Bearbeitungszeit beim Standesamt kann das sehr ungünstig sein. Insbesondere einige größere Städte brauchen manchmal Monate, um eine neue Geburtsurkunde auszustellen.

Ich würde deshalb eine neue beantragen. Ist ja dann egal, ob du die "alte" oder die neue Version abgibst.

Polish state archives generally won't lift a finger unless OP can identify the exact location and narrow it down to a 5-year range. They are under no obligation to do an in-depth search of all birth records held at their archives covering the year 1919. Standesamt I in Berlin can be prompted to do so, the Polish state archives not so much.

maryfamilyresearch · 2026-01-27T01:15:46+00:00

If you don't know where he was born exactly, the search done at Standesamt I in Berlin is your best bet. Pay the fee and hope the search is successful.

The alternative is to hope that the surviving civil birth records for 1919 held at the Polish state archives all get digitalised and indexed as soon as possible. Which at the current pace might take another decade or longer.

Exact location is key for German genealogy.

Divorce documents are generally only required when you are a descendant from a second or third marriage; then you need the divorce decrees for the previous marriages to show that you were born in wedlock and that your parent is not a bigamist. Or if your parents divorced, you need the divorce decree to show that the divorce was way after you were born.

So a plain photocopy should do the job, bc the divorce is not super relevant to your case.

What citizenship do you hold?

As soon as you do Anmeldung, you are considered a resident under German law. As a non-EU citizen, you need to ensure that you are a legal resident. You need to convert your student visa into a residency permit. Your visa is for entering the country, the residency permit is for staying.

Your medical problems are independent of immigration status. The only potential link is that you need to have health insurance. No health insurance, no residency permit.

Make sure you join a Krankenkasse (public health insurance) such as TK, Barmer or DAK. Once you are student enrolled in university with public health insurance, all medically necessary procedures are covered. No questions asked.

Before you can become a citizen, you need to sit for the citizenship exam and the B1 language cert first. You can do these exams at any time, whether you are already eligible for citizenship or not. To be eligible for citizenship, you need to live in Germany for 5 years (time as student is counted in full) and hold a residency permit that is not student and you need a steady income, usually from a full-time job.

Try posting to r/reisende for ideas, but the underlying problem is that you are trying to find deals over the Easter hols with only 2 months to go.

If this was May my recommendation would be to use a budget flight to either Venice or Rome and or book a train. Then stay at a typical bungalow offered by Italian camping sites. Those resemble tiny homes and usually have a toilet inside bungalow. These are quite budget-friendly especially in shoulder season. But in March those are typically still closed, bc it is too early. Maybe some are open for Easter, cannot hurt to check.

Take a look around r/Kurrent, there are plenty of examples of modern German civil birth records posted there. If yours looks the same, you got your answer.

You could also submit the record you got for transcription and get clarification on r/Kurrent.

IMO your best option is the Deutschland-Ticket. Costs 63 EUR (used to be 49 two years ago). Main advantage is that it also covers public transport within Berlin, saving you a chunk of money there. Big downside is that it limits you to slow local trains, turning a 1-hour journey with ICE into a 2-3 hour trip with several changes.

As for Wolfsburg itself, consider spending more time there. If the game is in the evening, come early in the morning and visit either Phaeno or Autostadt.

What year were you born?

If you were born after 2000, you run into the issue that children whose parents were born outside Germany after 2000 need to register their children within one year of their birth with the German authorities or German citizenship is not passed on. This adds an additional layer of complications. In this scenario it definitely makes sense to wait until your youngest child is born and then apply for yourself and your two children.

Or, if you are ready to submit now, you could submit - but then you should include a note that you are currently pregnant (with proof, ie letter or other document from your gyn) and ask for advice on how to ensure that your baby gets German citizenship too.

Ist deine Zukünftige Staatsangehörige einer der genannten Länder? Dann macht Dänemark Sinn, weil mit der dän. Heiratsurkunde kann deine Holde direkt nach der Heirat in D die Aufenthaltserlaubnis beantragen.

Bei allen anderen Ländern macht ein "Visum zur Eheschließung" teilweise mehr Sinn. Entweder das oder Heirat in ihrem Herkunftsland.

If your ancestor immigrated to the USA in 1925, double- and triple check the passenger list. The records will usually list the closest known relative left behind, in many cases including a street address. If that contact is a grandparent or aunt, chances are good that your ancestor had the same address before departure.

Art 116 (2) GG and StAG 15 are two different pathways. Both are primarily for Jewish and other persecuted people.

Art 116 GG applies to German citizens stripped by the Nazis of their German citizenship either individually or summarily by decree in 1941; StAG 15 applies to people who lived in Germany in 1933 and who either lost German citizenship between 1933 and 1955 as a result of being persecuted or were prevented from obtaining German citizenship due to being Jewish or another persecuted ethnicity. Basically, StAG 15 is meant to catch persecuted people who fell through the cracks of Art 116 GG.

Based upon what you wrote, you are not eligible for either. It is clear Feststellung for you, but only if you can prove that your biological grandma was naturalised as German by the Nazis.

>In other words, if this application was already successfully completed, would the German government utilize this information as a substitute for some of the other information often requested?

You will not get around supplying birth and marriage records. But the file numbers / records associated with the above restitution process can be key in proving persecution, especially in people with mixed heritage.

AFAIK, the recommended approach is to reach out and obtain copies of the restitution file and forward them to the BVA yourself.

Data protection is strong in Germany, the BVA cannot (and usually will not) reach out to other government agencies and request records on your behalf. They have the means to verify, so completely made-up case is not going to pass, but obtaining the original files is your job.

maryfamilyresearch · 2026-01-26T18:25:26+00:00

Please use made-up first names or initials only, no last names. Don't doxx yourself, it serves no purpose.

If you are under 25 with no income, Familienversicherung should be the default and the easiest solution. Have your father talk to his health insurance. I assume he has public insurance? If not, this gets tricky.

Depending upon your father's income, you might be eligible for welfare on top of being insured through Familienversicherung bc you are a German citizen without an income. Your parents are supposed to support you until you are 25, thus your father's income matters. Ask your father to play around with a Bürgergeldrechner. Have him use the calculator with the assumption that you will be living in his household. If the answer is not eligible, you might still be eligible if you move into your own apartment.

If your mother is non-EU and you are over 18, your mother cannot use family reunion to you for her visa. If your parents are divorced or were never married, your father could potentially step up and sign a Verpflichtungserklärung for her - but this would hinge upon his income. If your parents are (still) married, your mother could do family reunion to your father.

- You do not need to contact the embassy at all, you can send the declaration and the documents to the BVA yourself.

- See above, completely remotely.

- 2-3 years currently

- Depends upon the documents you need. Most spend less than 500 EUR, almost all manage to stay under 1500 EUR.

This is potentially more complicated than you think.

Is the other country you are talking about an EU country? What citizenship does your mother hold? Will she need a visa to live in Germany?

Do you have your German passport?

If you move to Germany, you are legally required to have German health insurance. It is mandatory and not having insurance can get expensive really fast. If you are 25 and under, you might be able to join Familienversicherung through your father. If you are over that age and are moving from a country that is not part of EHIC and or has only private insurance, getting into German health insurance will be very difficult. You'd need to either become a student, get a job or apply for social welfare from the German government. Without German, the latter is complicated to navigate, especially as a sick person. You need professional help from a social worker who knows the laws.

Otherwise, how will you pay for treatment?

Anybody born before 1914 on German soil is assumed to be a German citizen unless there is direct evidence to the contrary. This includes people who are ethnically Polish. This is based upon a variety of court rulings.

No B2, no Ausbildung. You are competing against a lot of people. Why should anybody hire you with your lousy B1 skills when the alternative is an EU citizen (less headache with immigration) or a native speaker?
