GENERAL POLICIES REGARDING DUAL CITIZENSHIP (DOPPELTE STAATSBÜRGERSCHAFT PHILIPPINISCH-DEUTSCH)
Currently, Germany allows dual citizenship only in the following cases:
- Children born of mixed marriages (e.g. Filipino-German) are entitled to both citizenships (dual citizenship) by reason of blood.
- Those born in Germany after 01 January 2000 to parents who, upon said birth, 1) were both foreigners and 2) one parent has stayed in Germany legally for 8 years, and 3) the child has grown up in Germany, can now opt for both German citizenship and the citizenship of their parent’s country when they turn twenty-one (21).
- Children of foreign parents who were born in Germany between 01 January 1990 and 31 December 1999 and were naturalized, becoming German citizens in the year 2000.
- Children born in the Philippines who were naturalized by adoption of German citizens.
German citizens born to one (1) Filipino parent who wish to have their Philippine citizenship recognized should refer to the guidelines on filing a Report of Birth under the Consulate’s Civil Registry Services. Please note that the Filipino parent should still have been carrying Philippine citizenship at the time of birth for the applicant to qualify for this process.
Former Filipinos who have been naturalized as citizens of Germany may apply to re-acquire their Filipino citizenship.
