Germany Sets Naturalization Record in 2025
In 2025, Germany recorded over 309,000 naturalizations, surpassing the previous record set in 2024 by approximately 292,000 cases, according to data from 14 states. This comes after the integration of an amendment to the nationality law that reduced the required residence period from eight to five years, along with increased attractiveness of dual citizenship—especially with the temporary protection status for Ukrainians. It is expected that more Ukrainians will seek German citizenship once the protection status ends in March 2027. Conversely, forecasts also indicate that applications will rise again as current demand declines in some municipalities.
