Can I become German?

If you can answer yes to the following questions then you should be able to become a German citizen:

1. Are you over 16? If not, your parents have to support your application.
2. Are you officially entitled to live in German? As an EU citizen the answer is yes.
3. Have you passed the Einbürgerungstest?  Not difficult but more on that later.
4. Have you mainly lived in Germany for the last 8 years? In certain cases this can be reduced to as little as 6 years.
5. Are you able to financially support yourself without receiving income support?
6. Can you speak adequate German? More on what counts as adequate later.
7. Do you support the freedom and democracy of the German constitution?

Finally please answer no to this question:

1. Do you have a criminal record?

If you can satisfy all of these criteria then you are eligible to apply for German citizenship.
