Clarification of identity Eritrea: Your path to Naturalization in Germany

The video explains the process of Clarification of identity for people from Eritrea who wish to naturalize in Germany. A valid identity is a basic requirement for Naturalization. If a valid national passport is available, Clarification of identity is not a problem.

If you do not have a valid national passport, you must apply for one at the Eritrean embassy in Germany. A special feature for people from Eritrea is that signing a declaration of return is considered subjectively unreasonable, as it constitutes a criminal self-incrimination. Instead, the potential disadvantages of returning to Eritrea must be credibly presented in order to avoid signing the declaration.

If a valid national passport cannot be applied for, other proof of identity must be provided, such as birth certificates or baptismal certificates. If these are not available, a credible case must be made as to why they cannot be obtained. This process can be complicated and requires an understanding of the step-by-step model, which is explained in the video.
