30 years without a GERMAN PASSPORT! Lawyer vs. Nura - Naturalization without Clarification of identity in Germany

The video highlights the problem that over a million people live in Germany without being naturalized, even though they grew up here. One example is Nura, who has lived in Germany for 30 years but does not have a German passport. Naturalization in Germany requires certain prerequisites such as a valid Residence permit, a secure livelihood and a national passport from the country of origin. Nura fulfills many of these requirements, but has difficulties proving her identity as she was born in Kuwait to a Saudi father and an Eritrean mother and may never have had an Eritrean passport.

Another obstacle could be previous convictions, although minor offenses do not necessarily prevent Naturalization . The authorities often do not proactively provide information about naturalization opportunities, which can lead to people missing their chances. Nura and her family could have been naturalized earlier if they had been better informed.

In summary, the video shows that there are considerable bureaucratic hurdles for many people in Germany that make it difficult to Naturalization . It emphasizes the need to inform yourself about your rights and options and to make use of them in good time in order to avoid long-term disadvantages.
