Dear @Simi

Welcome back to the Wefugees Community and thank you for your question. 

While holding an "Aufenthaltsgestattung" or "Duldung" people can usually not apply for Kindergeld. However, the German parent may apply for the child instead. If you are about to receive a residence permit, it could make sense that you apply now (as you will be eligible as soon as you receive it - depending on the type of residence permit) and submit the residence permit a bit later in the application process.

I hope this helps and don't hesitate to get back to us if you want to discuss your case further or any other questions.

All the best, 

Meike
