In order to obtain a German passport, knowledge and concrete data about the German grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. of the German relative must first be available and the date and place of birth in Germany must be researched. With all this data and a complete family tree of the German ancestor, the entire lineage of the family and documents proving the right to obtain German citizenship, this procedure can be initiated at the German consulate.
It should be noted that in most cases the family members do not have the evidence of the German family member, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. The requirements for obtaining a German passport may vary from case to case. We will be happy to help you with this procedure.
If you do not have the required documents and obtaining a German passport ends up being difficult, you can apply for a German document search service through our Genealogy and Document Search Service. In most cases, the German embassy or consulate does not perform any searches. These documents must be obtained by the individual themselves.
