More information
If necessary, please bring an interpreter with you when you visit the registry office in order to avoid communication problems when receiving your requests.
In principle, a personal visit is required.
However, if parents are staying abroad permanently and all other requirements are met, the application can also be submitted via the respective German Consulate General. The consulate will then send the application and any other documents to the relevant registry office in Germany.
