According to a representative of the
Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ottawa, a child born
in 1971 of a German mother would legally take the nationality of
the father, in this case Iranian nationality (28 July 1993). The
representative further indicated that unless the mother made a
declaration between 1975 and 1977 to claim German nationality for
her child, as far as the German authorities are concerned, the
child would remain an Iranian national (Ibid.). In order to
return to Germany the person would need to apply for a visa and
provide a resident's address to certify that provision will be made
for his/her financial needs (Ibid.). This requirement means
that the mother, or someone from the mother's family would have to
give his/her consent in order for the visitor to travel to Germany
(Ibid.).
No additional and/or corroborating
information is currently available to the DIRB in Ottawa.
