What will be the citizenship status of my child?
Germany - Thüringen
English
Do you have a child aged 12-16?

If the child was born in Germany and both parents are non-german citizens, the “Ius Sanguinis” applies, so the Child has the citizenship of his or her parents origin country. If the Mother lived for at least eight years in Germany and has an unlimited residence permit, the “Ius Soli” applies, so the child can get the German citizenship.
