Got my German citizenship certificate approved via §5 Erklärungserwerb (descent) - can a family member collect it on my behalf?
Hi all, just got the news from Polaron that my citizenship certificate has been issued by the BVA and will be sent to the German Embassy in Pretoria (this is for my sister, I am based in London and collected mine there).
My sister is also an applicant and her certificate is going to the Pretoria embassy. She is currently not in a position to go in person and my dad lives in South Africa. Is there any way he can collect the certificate on her behalf?
If so, what would the process look like? Would she need to provide a signed authorisation letter, power of attorney, or anything else? Has anyone done this or know if the Pretoria embassy allows it?
