    • 2023, Thym, Daniel, “Fallstricke des »Doppelpasses«: rechtliche Inhalte und legitime Symbolik”, in JuristenZeitung, volume 78, number 12, →DOI, page 546a of 539–548:
      Wenn nun künftig Ausländer und deren Kinder schneller Deutsche werden, steigt die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass mehr ins Heimatland zurückkehren, kurz nachdem sie Deutsche wurden, und sodann ein Auslandswahlrecht besitzen. Im Ausland wird der deutsche Pass sodann unbegrenzt vererbt, wenn die Eltern nicht vergessen, die Geburt eines Kindes dem deutschen Konsulat binnen eines Jahres zu melden. Vgl. § 4 Abs. 4 StAG.

Usage notes
  • The spelling Pass has been the prescribed spelling since the German spelling reform of 1996 (the Rechtschreibreform). In Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it had already been standard since ⟨ß⟩ was deprecated in the 1930s. In the affected areas, the previous spelling (Paß) is now less common, and may be regarded as a misspelling.
