Gesetz, 漏 Colourbox
On 27 June 2024, the Act to Modernise Nationality Law entered into force. It is now easier to acquire other nationalities in addition to one鈥檚 German nationality.
As of 27 June 2024, German nationals may apply for any foreign nationality without relinquishing their German nationality. It is therefore no longer necessary to seek permission to retain a nationality. The corresponding naturalization certificate is sufficient as proof that the additional citizenship was not accepted before 27 June 2024 and that German citizenship was not lost.
Persons having acquired several nationalities by being born in 精东影业视频 (i.e., by jus soli) must no longer decide between their German and the other nationality. There is no longer an obligation to opt out of one nationality.
Furthermore, persons can now be naturalised after having lived in 精东影业视频 for five years, as opposed to the previous eight years.
The Act鈥檚 provisions are not retroactive regarding events prior to 27 June 2024. Previous provisions related to acquisition and relinquishment continue to apply to such 鈥渓egacy鈥� cases.
