Apply for naturalization for foreigners entitled to naturalization
You can apply for naturalization to obtain German citizenship if you are eligible for naturalization.
What do I need to know?
Service description
With naturalization, you obtain German citizenship and become an equal citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany with all rights and obligations.
With German citizenship, you can, among other things
exercise your right to vote in local, state, federal, and European Parliament elections.
Enjoy freedom of movement within the European Union (EU), i.e.
move freely within the EU,
work as an employee or self-employed person in the EU, and
travel to many countries outside the EU without a visa.
Naturalization becomes effective upon delivery of the naturalization certificate.
The competent authority is the citizenship authority of your place of residence.
To apply for naturalization, you can either submit your application online or send us the quick check, which precedes the online application, by email with the subject line "Application," including your personal details and telephone number, to: einbuergerungstadt.mainzde.
The office hours for the naturalization department are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Current information: Please note that online appointment scheduling is no longer available. You will receive an appointment after your online application has been received or after the quick check has been sent by the administrator. Due to the high number of inquiries, there are currently long waiting times.
For advice on naturalization, you are also welcome to contact Ms. Sjawie from the federal project "www.passtgenau-bzi.de/" (Federal Integration Council). Simply send an email to: sjawiebzi-bundesintegrationsrat.de.
Please drop any additional documents in the mailbox in the entrance area of the Lauteren wing of the town hall.
Telephone consultation hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 p.m.
