A question about German citizenship:?

Question

A was born in Germany from a German father, but she spent only first 2 weeks of her life in Germany and has raised in a diffrent country (not Germany). Is she consider as a German citizen?

Answer 1

I will just state it as back up for the others, trust what they said above they are correct.

Answer 2

In Germany everyone who has a German Father is considered a German citizen.Also that person if he/she can prove her father was German can aply anytime to obtain German citizenship if she/he has not yet.

Answer 3

In more technical (i.e. legalese, or Latin) words:

Germany has the "ius nascendi", that is Latin for "right of descendence": If father OR mother are of German origin or have acquired legal German citizenship, then the son or daughter is, technically speaking, German. But if the parents move out of Germany shortly after birth and live in another country, it is required that German citizenship be reclaimed for their child when it's under 18, or the child can reclaim it up to a certain age which I'm not sure of (might be 21, or 25).  Then, a German passport will be issued.

Technically, the German citizenship remains until death (no German citizen can be deprived of his/her citizenship unless he/she's a traitor to the state), but the issueing of a passport will become more complicated.

Births are registered in Germany at the place you were born, together with your parents' name and citizenship. You can find out the place of birth, write to the local authorities, and ask for a birth certificate. Confirmed by the authorities, this is as valid as a passport when it comes to emergency rescue from crisis areas by German troops/helpers: "I'm a German, get me outta here!" -- But a valid passport will be better, as it doesn't need confirmation.

One question often asked by Amerogermans [word's copyrighted by me, do not copy]:

Is it possible to hold a US and a German passport at the same time?

YES, it is.

Answer 4

Sure.  If at least one parent is a German citizen, then the child is automatically a German citizen, too.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Of course

Answer 7

If he has currently NOT a German Citizenship, Germany will not recognise him as a citizen. He may have  less difficulties to claim citizenship but that's about it.

In general Germany does not recognise dual citizenship.
