As the others have said you need to check with the embassy, not all countries allow dual citizenship (like France for example). I have dual NZ/British but I imagine that eventually that door will be closed unless you are born there.]]> Mon, 12 Apr 2010 09:27:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993591&title=dual-citizenship#993591 <![CDATA[Dual Citizenship : Yeah Tish thats what I thought...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993544&title=dual-citizenship#993544 Author: Babe

Each country is different. DH and I are Irish and my children qualify for dual citzenship.


You will have to check with the German Embassy to make sure but AFAIK Germany do not have a dual nationality agreement with NZ. (This is based on German friends of mine who were due to qualify for NZ citzenship)

There are different rules with different countries about dual citizenship - some don't do dual at all, others have an age limit where you have to choose your citizenship one way or the other, and so on but the embassy will tell you all that.

Becks if you were born in Australia then your kids should be able to get dual citizenship but if you have dual citizenship because one of your parents was Australian then you're entitled but your kids aren't. Its a first gen thing...]]> Mon, 12 Apr 2010 08:23:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993538&title=dual-citizenship#993538 <![CDATA[Dual Citizenship : I&#039;m Irish and married to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993431&title=dual-citizenship#993431 Author: MrsEmma

I'm Irish and married to a kiwi, I have residency but am not a citizen. DS will get an NZ passport and we will be getting him an Irish passport as well. It's a bit of a pain with all the paperwork but as with my own, it's relatively straight forward thank goodness.

The embassy's are great to deal with so they will definitely be able to help you out. Although, my Mum got us all the info as she lives in Ireland ]]> Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:12:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993431&title=dual-citizenship#993431 <![CDATA[Dual Citizenship : Your baby can very likely get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993386&title=dual-citizenship#993386 Author: Ella1

Your baby can very likely get German nationality as well. I am Dutch myself, and as long as I apply before her 18th birthday, DD can get the Dutch nationality too. (Many countries don't even have this age restriction). The only thing is that it is quite a hassle to get hher a Dutch passport. (Lots of paperwork, and therefore quite expensive as well), which is why I haven't done it yet.]]> Sun, 11 Apr 2010 21:12:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993386&title=dual-citizenship#993386 <![CDATA[Dual Citizenship : You would need to speak with the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993232&title=dual-citizenship#993232 Author: mummy_becks

You would need to speak with the embasy about that as each country is different. I am a duel citizen of NZ and aus, but my children can't get aus passports as far as I am aware.

I would say your child is entitled to both passports.

I'm brittish married to a kiwi, I have residency here and my son has both passports.

I would imagine the German rules are similar - you need to look up your German embassy online and go from there.]]> Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:20:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993188&title=dual-citizenship#993188 <![CDATA[Dual Citizenship : I think that would depend on the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993176&title=dual-citizenship#993176 Author: LouD

I think that would depend on the german rules, but as far as im aware from NZ end it shouldnt be a prob. I have a british passport and an NZ passport due to my family being english so i would assume you would be fine to do the same (unless the rules have changed)]]> Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:00:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993176&title=dual-citizenship#993176 <![CDATA[Dual Citizenship : I&#039;ve got NZ residency and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993156&title=dual-citizenship#993156 Author: sem

I've got NZ residency and am married to a Kiwi.
Just a letter in the post today from the hospital congratulating me on my pregnancy (how nice!) and a request to give them proof of my residency status. They just need to see pasport and marriage certfificat. Will do that next week.

It also says in the letter that our baby will get NZ citizenship by default. Can I still apply for a German passport for the baby as well so it has NZ and German citizenship?]]> Sun, 11 Apr 2010 16:25:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32785&PID=993156&title=dual-citizenship#993156
