    How long must you have lived in Germany to get a German passport?

    Question #100291. Asked by author. (Oct 17 08 11:52 AM)

    		The time spent in Germany is not considered in the application for a German passport, according to the link below. It is a question of citizenship. In fact, parents of German children born in the U.S. could apply for a German passport in their behalf, according to the first link below.
    So, it is not a function of time spent in Germany that confers eligibility for a passport, but rather, it is question of citizenship.

    		German citizenship may be acquired by naturalisation by those with permanent residence who have lived in Germany for 8 years.

    Exceptions to the normal residence requirements include:

    A spouse of a German citizen may be naturalised after 3 years residence in Germany. The marriage must have persisted for at least 2 years.

    Persons who have completed an integration course may have the residence requirement reduced to 7 years.

    Refugees and stateless persons may be able to apply after 6 years residence former German citizens.
