In Germany, long wait times for citizenship applications are prompting many foreigners to consider filing an 'Untätigkeitsklage', a legal challenge addressing administrative inaction. While naturalisation processes can take years in major cities, German law stipulates that applications should be processed within three months. This delay offers grounds for legal action to compel faster processing. However, prospective litigants should note that standard legal insurance policies generally do not cover citizenship-related lawsuits due to their classification as high-risk and unpredictable, leaving applicants to navigate the financial implications independently.
Under German law, a reasonable processing time for official documents like citizenship is set at just three months, making long waits a legal issue.
Filing an 'Untätigkeitsklage' can force citizenship offices to process applications faster, as many applicants are left waiting up to a year for initial consultations.
