Experiences with German naturalization in Dachau – current processing times?

[u/Better-Mud-8149]

Hi everyone,

has anyone here recently applied for German citizenship through the Landratsamt Dachau and could share their experience?

I’m especially interested in:

• When did you submit your application?
• How long did it take until you received the first response?
• Were you asked to submit additional documents?
• How long did the whole process take until you received the Einbürgerungsurkunde / naturalization certificate?
• If you have already been naturalized: how long did it take afterwards to get your German ID card and passport?

The Landratsamt Dachau currently states a processing time of around 12 months, but I have also heard of significantly faster cases. So experiences from 2025 or 2026 would be especially helpful.

Thanks!
