What are the required German citizenship by Jewish descent legal documents?<\/h2>\n

To apply for German citizenship by descent Jewish applicants will have to complete the application form for naturalization under Article 116 (2) of the Basic Law. Anyone over 16 is required to fill up their individual application and sign under it themselves. Apart from the application, applicants are also required to submit all the supporting documents\u00a0that prove their eligibility. Each individual case being different, the list of necessary documents may vary for each applicant.<\/p>\n

But there are some mandatory documents that need to be enclosed with every application. These are –<\/p>\n

\n
• Complete and correct birth certificate<\/li>\n
• Marriage certificate, if applicable<\/li>\n
• Birth and marriage certificate of the parent\/ grandparent (ancestor) who was deprived of German citizenship<\/li>\n
• Any evidence of their former German citizenship<\/li>\n
• Documents related to compensation received against their persecution, if any<\/li>\n
• All evidence supporting the relationship between the German ancestor and the descendant applying for naturalization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  If several members of a family are applying, all the German citizenship by Jewish descent legal documents and the application forms need to be submitted together. Only one set of documents relating to German ancestry should be enough in such a case.<\/p>\n
