Requirements for naturalization

Since the 2024 reform, more favorable conditions apply. Key requirements:

  • At least 5 years of lawful residence in Germany
  • Secure livelihood without social benefits
  • No serious criminal convictions
  • Sufficient German language skills (B1)
  • Citizenship test
  • Commitment to the free democratic basic order

Hinweis: Not all requirements must be strictly met — there are legal exceptions.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take?

Currently expect 12 to 24 months in Freiburg. In almost all cases, the process can be shortened by filing an action for failure to act at the court of administration.

Can I keep my current citizenship?

Since 2024, dual citizenship is generally possible.

How much does it cost?

For out-of-court representation, I charge a flat fee of €1,500.00 all-inclusive. If an action for failure to act (Untätigkeitsklage) is to be filed, additional costs may arise. I will discuss all costs transparently with you during the initial consultation. The initial consultation costs €226.10 in accordance with § 34 RVG. The 15-minute initial call is free and non-binding.

I don't live in Freiburg. Can you still represent me?

Yes, representation is possible nationwide via online communication.
