Your citizenship assessment
We developed our own system to assess your circumstances in much greater detail than a simple quick check.

Why our assessment is unique
| Basic quick check | Our assessment |
|---|---|
EmploymentFull-time or part-time status alone says little about probation, fixed-term contracts or notice that has already been given. | Our system considers individual jobs, probation, contract periods, self-employment and employment that has ended. This helps us assess your working circumstances more closely. |
Income and expensesAn income bracket or a combined amount for other income leaves details of your financial circumstances open. | We record specific income, different social benefits, housing costs and financial obligations in the context of your household. Our system uses these details for a differentiated assessment of financial support. |
Language and evidenceSelecting a language level or qualification only partly reflects the different ways adults and children can provide evidence. | Our system distinguishes certificates, issuing institutions, school qualifications and age-dependent evidence for children. This lets us consider the form of evidence covered by our system that fits your circumstances. |
Residence periodsA year of arrival or a broad time range does not yet show which residence periods matter in your individual circumstances. | Our system collects more precise dates and considers factors including earlier periods of tolerated stay, marriage to a German citizen and applying together as a family. |
Your familyMarital status and the number of children help with initial guidance. They do not replace a separate assessment of each family member’s requirements. | We record each person’s individual circumstances while considering the connections within your family. Different residence periods, personal circumstances and evidence inform the assessment. |
Your next stepA brief question about application status leaves specific problems with the authority and individual circumstances to be clarified. | Our system considers the procedural stage, reported problems with the authority and additional information. We use this to explain what support may be suitable and whether an individual review is needed first. |
