Hi,

I just picked up "Einbüprgerungszusicherung" for me and my daughter and I was told that my kid will also need to give up old citizenship.

I was thinking that this does not apply for kids and that they can have both citizenships until 18th or 21st year and then they need to decide which one to keep.

My situation is that daughter was born when I did not have right to start "Einbürgerungsprozess" and they told me that this is a reason why she can not keep both passports now.

Any idea where can I check this (somewhere in law)?

Thanks,
Dracus

Have a look in §4 in StAG

True. If she was born after you became Deutsch what you said previously will apply. But since it is not the case it is just like your case.
