If you have received a notification of admission as a ethnic German repatriate and are registered in Germany at your new place of residence, you will receive the certificate as a late Repatriate and thus German citizenship.

You are considered a ethnic German repatriate if you are of German descent and live in a state of the former Eastern Bloc or the successor states of the former Soviet Union. Your stay in Germany must be justified and approved via a special admission procedure.

After entering the Federal Republic of Germany, you will first be sent to the Friedland Reception Centre of the Federal Office of Administration. There, you and your family members go through a registration and distribution process. You will receive a registration form confirming your participation in the procedure.

You will then be assigned to a state to which you and your family will relocate. You will then receive a certificate from the Federal Office of Administration that you are a spätaussiedler or a relative.

At the same time, you will receive German citizenship with this certificate and are thus entitled to benefits, for example from the pension and statutory accident insurance, the Federal Employment Agency or the social welfare offices.

Wenn Sie einen Aufnahmebescheid als Spätaussiedler erhalten haben und in Deutschland an Ihrem neuen Wohnort gemeldet sind, bekommen Sie die Bescheinigung als Spätaussiedler und damit die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft.

Sie gelten als Spätaussiedlerin oder als Spätaussiedler, wenn Sie deutscher Abstammung sind und in einem Staat des ehemaligen Ostblocks oder den Nachfolgestaaten der ehemaligen Sowjetunion leben. Ihr Aufenthalt in Deutschland muss über ein spezielles Aufnahmeverfahren begründet und genehmigt werden.

Nach der Einreise in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland kommen Sie zunächst in die Erstaufnahmestelle Friedland des Bundesverwaltungsamtes. Dort durchlaufen Sie und Ihre Familienangehörigen ein Registrier- und Verteilungsverfahren. Sie erhalten einen Registrierschein, der Ihnen die Teilnahme an dem Verfahren bestätigt.

Anschließend werden Sie einem Bundesland zugewiesen, in das Sie und Ihre Familie umsiedeln. Sie erhalten dann vom Bundesverwaltungsamt eine Bescheinigung darüber, dass Sie Spätaussiedlerin, Spätaussiedler oder Angehöriger sind.

Gleichzeitig erhalten Sie mit dieser Bescheinigung die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit und haben damit Anspruch auf Leistungen zum Beispiel der Renten- und gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung, der Bundesagentur für Arbeit oder der Sozialämter.

The Bremen Naturalization Office provides additional information and individual advice. During a consultation, the application form is handed out and information is provided on which documents are required.

In cases of doubt, the administration can make a generally binding decision as to whether or not German citizenship exists.
