Germany set a new record for naturalizations in 2023, granting citizenship to 200,100 people, a 19% increase from 2022. The number of naturalizations has gradually increased since 2020, driven primarily by an influx of Syrians who have been meeting the requirements for German citizenship. The highest number of new citizens since 2000 was recorded in 2023, with over half of the naturalizations coming from Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Romania, and Afghanistan. The average age of new German citizens was 29.3 years, significantly younger than the overall population.
