Clarification of identity to Naturalization in Germany

The video explains the process of Clarification of identity for people who want to be naturalized in Germany. A valid identity is a prerequisite for Naturalization. A valid national passport from the country of origin is crucial. If this is not available, an attempt must be made to obtain one before other steps can be taken.

As a first step, an attempt should be made to apply for a national passport in the country of origin. If this is not possible, it must be proven that obtaining a passport is objectively impossible or subjectively unreasonable. For example, this may apply to people from countries such as Afghanistan, where the embassy does not issue passports.

Subjective unreasonableness could mean that you would have to sign a declaration that is perceived as unreasonable. In both cases, it is necessary to prove the impossibility or unreasonableness in writing. In summary, this means that Naturalization is possible without a valid national passport, but only if it is proven to be impossible or unreasonable to obtain a passport. This process requires an understanding of the step-by-step model, which is explained in the video.
