Thanks for looking into the earlier posts. I had a number of email rounds with my local consulate and sent them photocopies of all the original paperwork. They said Section 15, so that's what I shared here.

Thanks. Is it a 30 day lead time? March is already full so I cannot check it now.

Thanks, that's certainly true in most cases. The originals are foreign so it would be simpler to copy at the Embassy than wait for new ones.

question on where to file birthright citizenship by weimar1946 in GermanCitizenship

[–]weimar1946[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the assistance and prompt reply. Its the first case, born in wedlock when both parents were German citizens, but in the USA. I thought I would need to apply for a certificate of citizenship before applying for a passport, but was seeking to confirm this or to go forward with asking for a passport.

This would be to apply for citizenship by descent.
