Do you get the Naturalization with § 19c?

Update: Attention: The new Naturalization Act comes into force on 27 June 2024!!!

From June 27, 2024, important things will change at Naturalization. The Federal Government's new Naturalization Act will then come into force. Important requirements according to Section 10 StAG will then change for you as an applicant.

The changes in the new law have three particularly important points:

  1. Dual citizenship is permitted: From June 27, 2024, you will no longer have to renounce the citizenship of your home country in order to be naturalized. The exceptions according to § 12 StAG will also no longer be necessary. Dual citizenship is enshrined in law!
  2. The Naturalization after 5 years: The new law reduces the requirement for legal residence in Germany from 8 years to 5 years. From June 27, 2024, you can apply for Naturalization in Germany after 5 years of legal residence!
  3. The Naturalization after 3 years: With special integration achievements: With special integration achievements such as a C1 language certificate and academic achievements, professional achievements and voluntary work, you can be naturalized after 3 years. Previously, this was only possible after 6 years.

Can you get the Naturalization with § 19c? We answer this question in this video. In this video, you will learn everything about Naturalization with Section 19c and what exactly you need to look out for at Naturalization .

19c AufenthG means that you are recognized as a skilled worker with this Residence permit . You have many years of professional experience and have obtained this title without training as a qualification, but through your many years of professional experience. With § 19c AufenthG you can in principle be naturalized. With this right of residence, nothing stands in the way of your application for German citizenship!

To ensure that your application is successful, please check whether you meet the other requirements for the Naturalization with you. Nothing is more annoying than submitting an application for Naturalization for nothing. In addition to the legitimate Residence permit , the other conditions include clarification of your identity, proof of livelihood and the B1 language certificate.
