Free tool · StAG, 2024 reform

Are you on track for a German passport?

Five questions against the current rules — since 2024 you generally keep your original citizenship.

How many years have you lived legally in Germany?
Are you married to a German citizen (2+ years)?
Your German level?
Do you support yourself without basic benefits?
Naturalisation test?

A guide, not legal advice. The 3-year fast track additionally needs special integration achievements only the Behörde can assess; convictions block naturalisation.
