Hi,

does any of you knows about what happend if you are a GC owner with family here and your baby is borned in Germany?

Do you know what are the formalities that have to be made?

Did anyone of you had this experience?

Thanks!

My second son born in here last year, before I am also a little bit nervous about the formality procedure or something others, but what do you know, when it happens, it just happens, everything just go with the flow and the good thing is that everything is easy and already being taking care of.

After you child is born, the hospital already sends all the documents to the StadtAmt. And the hospitals also give you a formular to be filled (name of the child and etc). What you do after that is take the filled formular and your passports to StadtAmt and after 2 days your child Birth Certificate is ready along with other document like a document to apply for KinderGeld, document to change your Tax Card, document to apply for ErziehungGeld (Child Education Money), you have to pay 20 euro or something I cannot remember exactly but everything should be easy.

But remember we have some problem in the StadtAmt, because we give our son name 3 word, but they checked and also they give a damn about the name meaning and everything so if they found out that the name doesn’t have any meaning at all then the will reject this, (a funny regulation, considering in my country we named our children differently, because we didn’t use a family name). So my suggestion is keep the name simple and if you really want to name your child the way you want it you have to contact your embassy and get the confirmation letter from them.

So Good Luck

Hi,

thanks for your answer and for the details
One more question, is your baby getting the german citizenship?

Thanks

Mac,

in Germany, it's depend on the parent, so like us, we both are indonesian citizen, so our child automatically become indonesian citizen.
I heard from a friend but i don't know this true or not but after you child reach some age (17 or ?), he/she will be able to apply for Germany citizenship.


Best Regards

Hello,
A child born to GC-holding parents will get the citizenship of the parent's country. Which means that the principle of 'citizenship by descent' is followed.

The child is not entitled to a German citizenship. The exception to this is when a child is born to parents who hold an 'Aufenthaltsberechtigung' (right of settlement) already for 4 years at the time of birth of the child. In this case the child is eligible for German nationality from birth itself. Obviously this does not apply to the GC-holders.
