    If he's still a german citizen then he should be able to get a german passport.

    He needs his birth certificate and he needs to go to the German consolat because they are now doing finger printing on their passports.

    I'm a german citizen, it's not that easy to get a passport anymore.

    If he was born in Germany, then he should have German birth certificate, so claiming citizenship and obtaining German passport is not that difficult. The problem here is you said he has Croatian papers... how did he obtain legal status there? Need to find out what his current status in Croatia is... Germany does not recognize dual citizenship. If his parents have become naturalized, then it might be possible that he no longer posses German citizenship. Find this out first..

    Hi. I was born in Germany in 1954 but am an Australian citizen. My father was born in Poland and my mother was born in Germany. Both my parents are Australian citizens. My mother receives a pension from Germany in Australia. I have my birth certificate. My mother and father were married in Germany although I do not know if my father had German citizenship. He has passed away now. Can I still get a German passport?
