German citizenship checklists

Check your eligibility for German citizenship and make sure you have all the required documents before applying!

I personally used these checklists and successfully applied for German citizenship — my application was approved in only 6 months!

You will get 2 checklists (pdf) in English:

1. Eligibility checklist – see if you meet the criteria to become a German citizen
2. Required documents checklist – a list of everything needed for your application

The checklists are created based on federal law, official guidance and personal tips and tricks for quick and successful application. Local authorities may request additional documents depending on your city or personal situation.
