Hey guys, been reading this thread with interest, never realised how tough the German nationality laws can be!

Not sure if anyone can help me, but not really sure where else to post!

Anyway, I was born in Perth, Australia, my dad is German and my mum is English [naturalised Australian]. I believe my dad lost German citizenship around 1970ish as he became an Australian citizen, I'm not sure if this was because he married his first wife or that he gave up his German citizenship to get Australian citizenship.

When I was born I believe that both my parents had become naturalised Australians.

So what I'm asking is, am I eligible? My Dad obviously was born in Germany, and lived there for about 25 years.

I'm just wondering, does anything have to do with that I'm now 18 years old + and I'm looking to acquire citizenship have anything to do with it? As surely it shouldn't be down to if your parents wanted you registered as a German citizen etc.

But yeah, I'll answer any more questions that people might need to get a grasp of it.

Cheers
