Family: guides for Germany
- Registering a birth at the StandesamtIranian parents must have a birth in Germany reported to the Standesamt for the place of birth, normally within one week. In Berlin, hospitals report births; parents report home births. Ask the office about Iranian civil-status documents, translations and the child’s name.
- Eheschließung: the Iranian case in GermanyIranian nationals planning marriage in Germany should start with the local Standesamt's individual consultation. Clarify Iranian civil-status evidence, translations and the exemption from an Ehefähigkeitszeugnis before arranging the ceremony.
- Schwangerschaft: arrange care and supportIranian women in Germany should arrange pregnancy care with a gynaecologist and look for midwife support early. Clarify cover with the insurer; in Berlin the sexual-health and family-planning centres also advise pregnant people without health insurance.
- Entbindung: plan care and birth registrationIranian parents in Germany should plan the birth with their medical team and clarify insurance and civil-registration requirements early. In Berlin, the place of birth determines the Standesamt; ask it about Iranian originals, translations and the child's name.
- Scheidung: check the Iranian cross-border caseIranian spouses living in Germany should obtain family-law advice on jurisdiction, applicable law and recognition before filing for divorce. Give all nationalities and residence or protection statuses; a German address alone does not settle the Iranian legal issues.
