Naturalisation quick check: initial guidance

For children, we assess age and family circumstances together.

An individual assessment can also be worthwhile if you live abroad.

Five years of residence are usually required. We can check when applying would make sense for you.

You are approaching the usual five years of residence. Preparing now may be worthwhile.

Your marriage may allow earlier naturalisation. We would be happy to check the details.

You may still be able to obtain suitable language evidence.

B1 is usually required. We can check whether further preparation or an exception is relevant.

We can help identify suitable evidence of your German skills.

We need to look more closely at your benefits. Exceptions are possible in certain cases.

We can check which benefits you receive and whether your income is sufficient.

Other evidence may be possible even without a passport.

Not every conviction prevents naturalisation. Ongoing proceedings may delay it.

We will take a closer look at your residence document.

We can check whether a different residence permit or another route is possible.

With a Duldung or pending-asylum permission, suitable residence status must first be established.
