Applying for permission to retain German citizenship

Do you have German citizenship and would also like to take on a foreign citizenship?

German citizenship is not lost when acquiring a foreign citizenship only if a German citizenship authority grants permission to retain German citizenship before acquiring the foreign citizenship (retention permit).

If you intend to acquire a foreign nationality, you are therefore advised to contact the citizenship authority responsible for your place of residence in good time beforehand.

Necessary documents:
Information and application forms can be obtained by telephone on 0365/838-1910 or 1913, or by appointment in person from the Citizenship Office at STADTSERVICE H35.
