7. In fact, Germany has a quite inconsistent policy in this respect. Dual nationality is accepted unconditionally when acquired at birth from parents with different nationalities and is accepted conditionally when it is acquired through ius soli. A child born in Germany to foreign parents must choose between German nationality and an inherited foreign one before the age of 23. Finally, dual nationality is also accepted among naturalized immigrants if the state of former nationality does not release its citizens or if renunciation would cause unreasonable hardship. Those Turkish citizens who reacquired their former nationality after naturalizing in Germany are, however, considered to have automatically lost their German nationality.
