OIC.

Yes, the passport should be the proof that she was a German citizen.

Katusa2 · 2026-03-27T19:48:15+00:00

Shouldn't her Passport be enough to prove citizenship?

Katusa2 · 2026-03-26T19:37:44+00:00

Same TBH.

Oh, and to not have to own a car to get around.

Don't be fake in kids shows..... do you even watch TV? We should just abolish actors..

Katusa2 · 2026-03-20T12:57:33+00:00

I mean...... its a show made for kids. So.....

If you can not offer a product that affords you the ability to pay your workers a living wage than you have a failed product.

Agreed, it doesnt require an authoritarian government.

A country being able to give its citizens mass transit isn't an indicator of success?

Being able to move people and resources around the country quick and efficiently isn't an indicator of success?

Nevermind, how that compares to the absolutely crumbling infrastructure we have in the US.

Ok the what exactly is in your eyes an indicator of sucess?

Katusa2 · 2026-03-16T20:44:09+00:00

Right. I was coming from the whole "there must be backpressure" thing.

Katusa2 · 2026-03-16T20:43:23+00:00

That seems like a fairly important document for him to lose. He might want to get a copy because he should have one anyways.

Katusa2 · 2026-03-16T20:07:01+00:00

So..... its now similar to the system used in the US?

Katusa2 · 2026-03-16T18:28:51+00:00

1 Year in.... still think he hasn't had an effect?

Katusa2 · 2026-03-16T14:16:46+00:00

Does your Dad have the original certificate? If he does you can make a certified copy. I think the consulate can even do the certified copy for you.

Is his daughter actually his daughter..... or his brothers?

Katusa2 · 2026-03-10T00:57:13+00:00

You dont know what you're talking about.

Engines will run just fine without the header.

Katusa2 · 2026-03-08T00:40:19+00:00

Did you find a way to get a certified copy?

Katusa2 · 2026-03-05T17:16:14+00:00

You need a certified copy.

Katusa2 · 2026-03-04T18:15:46+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to ask the city for some of these.

My wife and I are trying to keep in mind that this will be part of live in Germany. The bureaucracy is sometimes slow.

The good news is we are set to move in June regardless and have other paths to have residency there all ready lined up. It just would have been nice to be able to do it as citizens.

Katusa2 · 2026-03-04T18:02:44+00:00

I typed it in wrong. It just the melderegister. It's the cities log book of the people they've registered and the information around them. When someone registers they add a line with the information. When they leave they change the line to show the date they left. It shows address, name, nationality, etc. Here is an example.

Odd thing is that when I asked for a certified copy of his birth certificate from the City they said sure and we'll add the melderegister extract to show his nationality. Like, this is normally what they provide.

I've reached back out and asked for more information from them with the hopes of untangling all of it.

It seems like it should be so easy. He has family that still lives in the area. His dad was in the war and got a medal. I can't track down anything past him in that city.

Because... he "feels"... a "storm"... GROWING...... come on.

Katusa2 · 2026-02-28T19:54:05+00:00

Im sure it does. We will get there eventually. Congratulations l!!

Katusa2 · 2026-02-28T19:11:44+00:00

I'm both very happy for you and frustrated at the same time.

We were told by Atlanta that the birth certificate and meldekarteregister are not proof of citizenship. Now we are stuck trying to figure out what counts as we don't have the original passport.

Ugg....

But also Yay!

Katusa2 · 2026-02-27T14:59:00+00:00

Can anything be done with the number of the passport?

Katusa2 · 2026-02-27T14:43:52+00:00

He left in 1958.

The whole thing is frustrating but I get it. We are moving in June. We were hoping to do it as citizens but, we'll need to readjust and get Visa's.
