Naturalization Without a passport: 4 steps to Clarification of identity in Germany

The video explains the step-by-step model for clarifying identity for Naturalization in Germany. At the first stage, you must have a valid national passport. If this is missing, the reason must be proven in writing in order to proceed to the second stage. At the second stage, the identity can be clarified by other documents such as a birth certificate or driving license. If these are not available either, the attempt to obtain such documents must be documented.

If none of these documents are available, it goes to the third stage, where witness statements from family members whose identity has been clarified can be used. If this is not possible, the reason for this must be proven in writing.

In the fourth stage, the identity can finally be clarified by the person's own statements if a plausible explanation has previously been given as to why no other documents or witness statements are available. The video emphasizes that proving the reasons for missing documents is crucial at each stage and explains that the requirements may vary depending on the country of origin. It recommends watching specific videos for the country of origin to better understand the requirements.
