Naturalization in Dresden
The responsible office, online application, fees and test centres for the citizenship test in Dresden.
The naturalization office
- Responsible office
- Staatsangehörigkeitsbehörde (Abt. Staatsangehörigkeits- und Ausländerangelegenheiten)
- Online application
- Not available — A PDF questionnaire goes by email first, then an in-person appointment. No post, no online submission.
- Processing time
- About three years, the longest wait of all 30 cities here (as of September 2026). Ask the office for the current waiting time.
- Documents
- No public checklist. The list is made for each person after the questionnaire and is therefore not on the website.
Fees
- Naturalization (adults)
- 255 €
- Citizenship test
- 25 €
Minors with parents: €51
33 questions (30 general + 3 state-specific), pass mark 17/33.
These fees are set nationally (BAMF), not a city fee.
