In The Press

Interest in German citizenship restoration has increased significantly in recent years, particularly following Brexit and wider changes affecting freedom of movement within the European Union. Since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016, tens of thousands of UK citizens have successfully acquired German citizenship.

Media coverage frequently highlights the experiences of former German citizens and their descendants, including many families of Jewish origin affected by Nazi persecution, as well as others eligible under German nationality law. In many cases, restoring German citizenship enables individuals and families to secure long-term rights to live, work and travel freely within the EU, including for future generations.
