How does the Dwyer Legal citizenship services for NS-victims work?

German based Dwyer Legal Law Firm offers a full range of citizenship services for Germany. The below describes our end-to-end support for citizenship recollection after persecution of citizenship cancellation by the Nazis.

As described in our other articles, victims of Nazi persecution or - today even more important - can be entitled to German citizenship.

Usually, if the dependent live abroad, the relevant application have to be filed through the German consulate in the country of residence.

These applications usually show long processing times and are also linked to the problem that it is not clear in which authority the application is currently processed.  

This also means that it usually tales until the end of the procedure for the applicant to understand if if his request has been approved or not.

Dwyer Legal law firm has understood this problem and worked out a processing structure that brings much more clearness and efficiency.

Instead of filling the application through the German consulate abroad, our services follow the following path:

  1. Dwyer Legal citizenship support always starts with a full pre-check and initial analysis of the background situation and the documents provided.
  2. Having completed this pre-check, Dwyer Legal will then let the applicant know the chances of success and also also provide him with a strategy and a quote for the further processing.
  3. Should the applicant agree to the suggestions, the Dwyer legal will also provide the applicant with the PoA and will then also - where required - support with any further research in Germany. In addition, Dwyer Legal will also consult the applicant in regards to document legalisations or other formalities to be observed in the home country.
  4. Once everything is completed, then Dwyer Legal will file the application on his behalf directly with the central citizenship authorities in Germany, which  will then also provide us with a file and processing number. 

Filing the application directly, we not only skip the consulate filing and the related appointment issues but also have the advantage that we always know exactly where the application is currently pending and which authority we can approach for follow ups and discussions.
