Did you know? If you are descendants of natives of Germany, you are entitled to German citizenship and to a European passport.

A European passport enables you to live, study and work anywhere in Europe! In Israel you can hold a double citizenship (Israeli and German). You don’t have to move to Europe, and you don’t have to speak German. German citizenship is not automatically extended to spouses, but they are entitled to residence and work permits if you move to Europe (this applies to same-sex partners as well).

Our office helps and accompanies you throughout the citizenship acquisition process, including searching for relevant documents in archives worldwide, building your family tree with the help of your older relatives, translating the required documents and obtaining certification as required by a lawyer and notary public, and submitting the documents to the authorities. The office is managed by genealogy experts who have themselves gone through the German citizenship acquisition process, and it employs many investigators and experts worldwide for the purpose of locating the relevant documents.

The translations and notarized certifications are handled by a lawyer and notary public (a lawyer who is registered at the German embassy in Israel).
