Please help:)
Hi, I’m trying to figure out if I qualify for German citizenship by descent.
I was born in the Philippines in 2010 and I’m a Filipino citizen. My father is German, was born in Germany, and still has a German passport. My parents were not married, but he is listed on my PSA birth certificate and signed it.
My dad is already elderly and currently living in a home for older people, so I’m hoping to handle as much of the process online as possible.
Would this usually qualify me for German citizenship/passport eligibility? Would I likely need citizenship determination first, or could I apply directly for a passport through the German Embassy in Manila?
Also, would the PSA birth certificate normally be enough proof of paternity, or are additional acknowledgment documents usually required?
Thanks!
