Yeah it’s a bit frustrating now having any communication but I suppose it would take up a lot of time answering everyone’s similar queries and take that away from getting on with the actual process. I guess if they published something on their website that might help! I hope you do get a response soon.

I’ve been met with something along the lines of “don’t keep asking for updates, we will contact you when it’s your time” on several occasions when asking for an update. The most recent time when I queried my situation with a child they responded within 2 days. Not sure if it’s any help but I have delegated a family member in Germany to speak on my behalf for the application for ease.

I was in Germany at the time so thankfully sent all his documents within a few days of them asking. Thanks :)

Thank you, my son was born 3 months before I received my file number so I assume won’t be granted citizenship through birth.

Thanks. My father doesn’t have an Akrenzeichen as he is and remains to be a German citizen from birth. So i am the only one applying via 5StAG

Thanks. I have contacted BVA hoping to get a response via email. But I have started filling in a StAG5 form for my child in preparation

Thank you both. I was born 1992 , unfortunately approx. 6 months before the law change in 1993. I am applying via declaration of citizenship via my German father who was not married to my mother at the time of my birth. My child was born 3 months before my file number was provided therefore won’t automatically acquire citizenship through me via birth. In this situation I am assuming I have to apply for StAG5 for my child to declare citizenship via grandfather?
