We prepare your application for German citizenship — fully in your language, legally sound, ready in 24 hours to 5 business days.
- Under §§ 8–14 StAG
- No legal representation required
- DE · AR · TR · RU · EN
Trusted by applicants from more than 40 countries.
- 292,000 naturalisations in Germany in 2024
- Applicants from 5 language groups
- Applications under §§ 8–14 StAG
- Automated completeness check of your documents
The problem
Naturalisation is complicated. That is not your fault.
60+ pages of official forms.
The EB application runs to 18 pages plus annexes. Authorities do not provide completion guidance — incorrect applications are returned, and months of progress are lost.
Processing time: 14 to 18 months.
Citizenship offices currently hold a backlog of more than 200,000 open applications. Submitting correctly the first time does not only spare your nerves — it saves you months.
Everything only in German.
The official forms and explanatory notes exist exclusively in German, with legal terminology that even native speakers find demanding. The state portals do not offer translations either.
How it works
Three steps to a complete application.
Pre-check, online wizard, ready-to-sign application — you stay in control.

For authorities & partners
For citizenship offices, municipalities and legal partners.
In 2024, Germany recorded nearly 292,000 naturalisations — 46% more than the previous year. Citizenship offices are working under a backlog of more than 200,000 open applications. A key driver: incomplete or faulty application files that force follow-up queries and resubmissions.
Einbürgerung24 delivers fully reviewed applications. This reduces queries, speeds up processing, and takes load off your case officers — with no infrastructure or onboarding costs on your side.
We are looking for conversations with:
- Citizenship offices and immigration authorities
- Municipalities with high application volumes
- Specialist law firms in migration law
- State integration commissioners
Legal scope
What we do. And what we do not.
Transparency on the scope of our service is part of our promise.
What Einbürgerung24 does
- Online intake of your personal data
- Algorithmic completion of the official application forms (EB / EBK)
- Automated completeness check of the submitted data
- Creation of an individual document checklist
- Machine translation of checklists and instructions into your language
- Tool delivered in five languages (DE / AR / TR / RU / EN)
- Information about the procedure, citizenship requirements and the path through the authorities
What Einbürgerung24 does not do
- No individual legal advice (§ 2 RDG)
- No assessment of personal chances of success
- No representation before authorities
- No filing of appeals against rejection notices
- No personal advisory — the tool itself is the product
- No advice on complex special cases (criminal records, dual citizenship conflicts)
Einbürgerung24 is not a legal services provider within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act (RDG). For complex legal questions we recommend consulting a specialist lawyer for migration law. On request we can refer you to a partner attorney.

About us
Why we are building Einbürgerung24.
Germany's 2024 citizenship reform opened the path to a German passport for millions of people. At the same time, citizenship offices are backlogged, and the application procedures remain available exclusively in German — with legal precision that overwhelms even native speakers.
Einbürgerung24 is a pure self-service tool that closes this gap: a transparent, multilingual application service that saves applicants time and takes load off authorities. We do not stand between the citizen and the state — we shorten the path between them.
