Hi,
I have a question that could be answered by some one from the forum. If the parents are both Indians and they get pregnant. What will be the citizenship of the child born in Germany if the delivery happens in Germany. As far as USA, the child gets automatically US citizenship, but I am not sure about Germany.

Indian ofcourse, but if one of the parents have NE or lived legally for 8 years, then the child is eligible for Citizenship.

Thanks for the info, in that case the child born will be Indian. But how does the process goes ? i.e. will the child born in Germany get Indian passport from Germany or the parents have to take the child back to India to issue Indian passport.
Also the new born child will require German visa also, how does that happen, i.e. from India or from Germany.

If the child is born in Germany

- Indian passport from Indian embassy in Germany.

- get the birth certificate and contact the ABH in Germany for residence permit.

If the parents are both Indians and they get pregnant....

That is highly improbable, but you can never know nowadays.

What will be the citizenship of the child born in Germany if the delivery happens in Germany....

He could get german passport if you are to prove a german contribution in this incident. It hardly matters if you are married to an Indian.

what a nonsense reply from Aksay.

Hi,

Me and my wife both are Indians living in germany for around 8 years now, and have two children both born in germany.

- for the first child Indian citizenship as were less than 5 years at that time. in your case take the Birthcertificate will be given also in english for Indian Embassy and apply for passport,get the visa stamped at ABH.

- the second child got DE citizenship,
criteria for this has been explained by raj.

- what a nonsense reply from Aksay.

@matrix: for your 2nd child, did you have NE or citizenship or none?

So if one of the parents has NE at that time, the child is given a German passport no questions asked?

@AxEnNeSo,

No questions asked for German passport.

Is it not that the atleast one parent should have lived in Germany for 8 years AND also has NE?

In the nationality law § 4,
''(3) Durch die Geburt im Inland erwirbt ein Kind ausländischer Eltern die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit, wenn ein Elternteil

1. seit acht Jahren rechtmäßig seinen gewöhnlichen Aufenthalt im Inland hat und

2. freizügigkeitsberechtigter Unionsbürger oder gleichgestellter Staatsangehöriger eines EWR-Staates ist oder eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis-EU oder eine Niederlassungserlaubnis besitzt. ''.

Me and my wife had NE at that time of our child's birth and they didn't issue german passport by referring the above law since we completed only 6 years.They told we should satisfy both the above conditions.

§ 4

(3) Durch die Geburt im Inland erwirbt ein Kind ausländischer Eltern die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit, wenn ein Elternteil

1. seit acht Jahren rechtmäßig seinen gewöhnlichen Aufenthalt im Inland hat und

2. ein unbefristetes Aufenthaltsrecht oder als Staatsangehöriger der Schweiz oder dessen Familienangehöriger eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis auf Grund des Abkommens vom 21. Juni 1999 zwischen der Europäischen Gemeinschaft und ihren Mitgliedsstaaten einerseits und der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft andererseits über die Freizügigkeit (BGBl. 2001 II S. 810) besitzt.


Looks like the rules are changed. Maybe you can try again.

@Raj,

There is a 'und' at the end of condition 1 and both 1 & 2 conditions should be satisfied in § 4,3.

yes, you are true. I did not see that you were only 6 years here.

"If the parents are both Indians and they get pregnant...."

How can both parents get pregnant?

Tehehehe....
