If you live in the state of Bayern and have applied (or are planning to apply) for German citizenship in München, the processing time is one of the most critical factors. Based on our community database, we currently have 36 real-world applications submitted for München. The latest data indicates that the average processing time here is approximately 582 days.
Applying for naturalization (Einbürgerung) in München involves gathering the right documents, taking the citizenship test (Einbürgerungstest), and proving your language proficiency. Because wait times can vary significantly based on your specific case and the current workload at the München immigration office (Ausländerbehörde), comparing real timelines from other applicants is the best way to estimate your own waiting period. Our database is constantly updated with new submissions from people just like you who are navigating the German citizenship process in München.

That's for Landkreis Munchen. Online application and appointment to show "original" documents (which were already provided online) and sign "not a terrorist" paper, followed by appointment to pick up Urkunde.

FAQ
Quick, practical answers about how the timeline works, what the numbers mean, and how to contribute.
Where does the data come from?▾
The numbers come from anonymized, community-submitted timelines. Each entry is a real user report, so results can vary by case and over time.
What does “Average (Approved)” mean?▾
It’s the average processing time of approved applications only. This avoids mixing in ongoing (“pending”) cases when comparing cities.
How do you calculate time for “pending” applications?▾
If someone selected “pending”, we count days from the application submission date up to today. If the submission date is missing, we can’t compute it.
Fastest / slowest cities: how is that decided?▾
We sort cities by their “Average (Approved)” when enough approved entries exist. Small sample sizes can be noisy, so treat rankings as directional.
What is the “route” (Standard / Marriage / Special)?▾
Route indicates the basis of eligibility (e.g. standard 5 years, marriage 3 years). Different routes can have different timelines, so we show breakdowns.
Berlin has “Referat”. What is that?▾
Berlin processes cases by internal units (“Referat”, often S1–S6). If your letter or emails mention a unit, selecting it helps make the Berlin stats more accurate.
Is my submission private?▾
Yes. Submissions are anonymous and only include what you enter. Don’t share names, case numbers, or sensitive documents in the notes.
Is this official legal advice?▾
No. Citizify is a community tracker, not a government source. Use it as a reference, and confirm details with official channels for your case.
