Information on whether a child born in Germany in 1988 to two Polish citizens who were in Germany illegally would be entitled to, or be able to apply for, German citizenship [DEU24047.E]

For information on the above-mentioned topic, please consult the attached 30 May 1996 facsimile received by the DIRB from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany which states that jure soli does not apply in Germany and that a child born in Germany is only entitled to receive the nationality of his or her parents.

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
