Drift grounds important German immigration information in identifiable legal and official sources. Citations let you inspect the basis of an answer instead of trusting it simply because an AI produced it.

We generally prioritise sources in this order:

A citation identifies where a legal rule, requirement, deadline, or administrative statement came from. Where possible, Drift links directly to the legislation or authority responsible for the information.

A citation does not mean that the source resolves every individual case. Immigration outcomes can depend on facts, documents, exceptions, local practice, and the date on which an application was made.

Official sources are not always perfectly aligned. A local authority page may summarise a rule differently from legislation, or guidance may not yet reflect a recent change.

When reliable sources conflict, Drift should identify the uncertainty, prefer the higher-authority and more current source, and avoid presenting a disputed point as certain. Individual legal analysis should be referred to an independent lawyer.

Immigration legislation, thresholds, forms, and authority procedures can change. Customers should check the publication or update date where it is shown and follow the cited source for the current official wording.

If a link is broken, outdated, or appears inconsistent with another official source, contact Drift and include the answer or page concerned. We can review the claim against the underlying material.
