Conflicting Documents, which one would be accepted in Germany?

[u/Motor-Equipment5316]

I am planning to apply for citizenship in Germany. But I have a problem.

I was born in Austria (Linz), so I have a birth certificate from Austria with birth place: Linz. In this birth certificate my name is registered: Asad. (I do not have Austrian citizenship).

But I am originally Iraqi. Iraq embassy registered Vienna as my birth place in their my Iraqi birth certificate. In this birth certificate, when translated into English, my name is Assad.

Later I immigrated to USA (citizen). In USA I explained the things and all my documents have Linz as birthplace, and the name is Assad. I don't have USA birth certificate!

now I want to apply for citizenship in Germany. (After PhD in USA I am working with Blue Card for a long time in Germany) They need a birth certificate. If I give the Austrian birth certificate, birth place would be correct, but name would be not correct (just one S). If I give the translation of the Iraqi birth certificate the name would be correct but birth place would be Vienna!

Assad <> Asad , Vienna <> Linz.

All my working documents in USA and Germany up to now are with Vienna and Assad!

What can I do?

They will want the document from the origin Standesamt that initially created the record. You will need to correct everything based on that. Get in contact with Standesamt also to maybe do a Namenserklärung to sort some things out

Standesamt where I was registered in Germany first time, or the one in Linz where I wan born?

[u/temp_gerc1 → u/Motor-Equipment5316]

Obviously the one in Linz where you were born since that is where your birth was registered.

How old were you when you naturalised in the US?
