Zivilstandsamt registration before applying for ordinary naturalisation?

I’m new here. I’ve been reading this forum for quite a while and finally decided to create an account. I’ll be eligible to apply soon, so I expect I’ll be going through the same process.

I’m originally from a third country but hold UK citizenship. I wasn’t sure about applying for a long time, but my colleagues and friends encouraged me to go for it.

Just out of curiosity, how long did your application process take from start to finish? I hope you’ve managed to get your civil status registration sorted by now.

Took around 5 months from submitting the apostiled birthday certificate (for background verification and confirmation)…in total I would say 10-12 months as it took several months to obtain birth certificate extract and get it apostiled.

Thank you :folded_hands:t4:
