What Nationality Act (Staatsangehoerigkeitsgesetz - StAG) requires

This Act governs the acquisition and loss of German nationality. A child acquires German nationality by birth where one parent holds it, and a child of foreign parents born in Germany acquires it where one parent has been legally ordinarily resident in Germany for at least five years and holds an appropriate residence status (Section 4). Foreign nationals may be naturalised at the authority discretion where their identity and nationality are clarified and conditions on criminal record, housing and self-support are met (Section 8). A foreigner with five years lawful ordinary residence is entitled to naturalisation on application where the requirements are met, including a commitment to the free democratic constitutional order, German language proficiency at B1 level and knowledge of the legal and social order (Section 10).
