    1. please send forms that I need to fill out and be recent to you. Thank you so much

  2. Hello, I was born in Nurnberg 1983. My dad was in the army. My mom there and father are both citizens. I recently received my birth certificate. It states a U.S Citizen born in Nurnberg Germany. My question is can I obtain dual citizenship and if so how do I come about in getting it.

  3. Does anyone have any suggestion for me. I was born in Nurnberg in 1968. My parents were us citizens. My original birth certificate was lost in a fire. I recently tried to get a replacement from the consulate, however I just received notice they can not find me in their system. I have no passport or proof of birth.

    Thank you for any help or ideas.

    1. Go to Dept of State web site and File DS 5542 with State Dept for a replacement Certificate of Birth Abroad and go online to request from Nurnberg city hall copy of German birth certificate.

      1. I did apply for the ds5542, that’s when they said they could not find proof of my birth.

        I will try the Nuremberg city hall and see if I can navigate the website. It’s very frustrating since I am positive my parents registered my birth with the consulate

        1. I had sent my documents of what. I had to Virginia dept of treasure passport and birth. I was born in nurnberg army hospital. 2/6/1958. I lost my birth cert. I need one to get a texas driver’s license renewal. My name is zina Gertrude koern. I need help

  4. My son Justin was born in this hospital in 1989. I do remember having to show our marriage license which was back in the states in storage to show proof of being married along with our passports. We had to send and get a copy which made us stay in Germany a few weeks longer.

  5. I have a son born in Nurnberg hospital in 1981. He had the choice of being a U.S. citizen
    or a German Citizen when he turned 18.

  6. My son Michael was born at Nurnberg Hospital in 1968. My husband was captain Roland Nesi, MD. We were stationed at Ferris Barracks in Erlangen where Dr. Nesi was one of the doctors there.
    I remember Erlangen with fondness and all the nice friends we made there. Unfortunately, my husband passed a ling time ago.

    1. Christina, did your son, Michael, receive American citizenship automatically, having been born in Nurnberg Hospital or did you have to complete paperwork for him to receive an American birth certificate? I will be so grateful if you could answer this soon! If anyone else reads this and can answer the question, I’ll also be very grateful!

      1. You asked me if my son Michael received US citizenship even though he was born in Nurnberg hospital. He did, and I never had to fill any paperwork for him. I believe the hospitals and all barracks in Germany were considered American territories. Sorry it took me a while to answer you.

        1. I was born there in 1968 and have US citizenship without any additional paperwork. Sometimes I had to prove it even though Germany doesn’t recognize me as a citizen since both of my parents were US citizens. My father was based in Erlangen. There was a large misunderstanding for many of us that we would have dual citizenship. The truth is that you could choose one or the other if one of your parents were German citizens. Otherwise, it’s USA all the way!

      2. you should have a Certificate of US Birth Abroad from State DFepartment. One parent must have been a US citizen at time of birth. Germany does not recognize the birth unless one parent is German.

        1. I did not have to do any paperwork for my son Michael after he was born at Nurnberg Army Hospital. We received a regular birth certificate with which later on he obtained a passport, driving license, etc. An American Army hospital on foreign soil under NATO agreement is considered American soil, hence the newborn is an American citizen, and we, his parents, were already American citizens.
