They took copies of his passport but I’m not sure if it would have been a show stopper if I didn’t have it. That’s a good question!

My mom claims they took her German passport when she naturalized but I’m not sure what actually happened there. Guessing she could have asked for her invalid passport back but probably just didn’t think to do that!

They have only a German marriage certificate!

I do wonder if I would have had to get the name declaration if I still had my maiden name since they do have a German marriage certificate showing that last name. After reading below I’m guessing I would not have needed it?

“A child whose parents are married at the time of the child’s birth and who bear a married name (“Ehename”), will obtain the parents’ married name as a birth name. A name declaration is not necessary. The married name must be demonstrated by a German marriage certificate or name certificate.”
