As a South African passport holder, I would like to find out if I qualify for ancestral german passport as both my parents are German but live in Cape Town. How do I apply? I currently reside in UAE and is it possible to apply from Dubai?

Did your mother report birth to the German embassy when you were born?
Your parents must contact the nearest embassy... you can't do it on your own.. sorry.

Thank you so much for your response. I will be visiting my mother in Cape Town in August and will ask her to start the process.
Kind regards
