BENEFITS OF RESTORING GERMAN CITIZENSHIP
More than ever, restoring German citizenship is extremely desirable for a variety of reasons.
- Once German citizenship is successfully acquired, you will be afforded all rights and privileges any other German national enjoys.
- This opportunity is not limited to UK citizens following Brexit and is available to eligible individuals and families worldwide based on German ancestry.
- Subject to generational limitations under German law, German citizenship may be passed on to descendants born after citizenship has been restored. As a result, many families are able to secure full EU citizenship rights for future generations, including the right to live and work in Germany and throughout the European Union.

FAQs
Q.
HOW CAN GERMAN CITIZENSHIP BE RESTORED?
A.
Following a successful assessment of eligibility, you – and in many cases your descendants – may be entitled to apply for German citizenship by descent through a Naturalisation Claim under Article 116 (2) of the German Basic Law, or under Sections 5 or 15 of the German Nationality Act. This legal framework allows for the restoration of German citizenship lost during 1933 and 1945 and supports claims based on German ancestry and citizenship by descent.
