If you knew where you were bron, you could ask that German citys' "Standesamt" if they have records about your birth. If you don't know the German city, I do not think that there is anything you can do. In any case, even if you wee born on German ground, that fact will not make you a German citizen, since the German law saws you are German by ancestry (jus sanguines) and not by place of birth. |

Don't bother - too much paperwork. We have lived here for three years and it is best to avoid bureaucracy at all times:) |

If you were born in an foreign military hospital (US, UK, whatever) in Germany, you were technically and politically born on foreign soil and not German soil. Thus, if that's the case, you have no claim as a natural born German citizen.
And, if your parents lied about your birthplace and you were actually born in Germany and smuggled illegally out of the country, there's going to be a huge amount of paperwork and legal issues involved if you have paperwork that claims otherwise. It's probably not worth looking into, if that's the case. |

there are american army bases all over the place here in germany. in stuttgart, berlin, munic, etc...
if you were born in one of the army bases, you are considered an american citizen even though you were born in germany. however; now you have the ability to apply for dual citizenship in both countries, which is awsome. just contact the german embassy in chicago and explain your story and they will send you an application. if you want citizenship, it should cost no more than 80 dollars.
good luck and if you have anymore questions, feel free to email me. |
