Demjanjuk, 91, was convicted by a court that found he had served as a guard at the Nazi's Sobibor death camp in occupied Poland. He was sentenced to five years in prison.
Demjanjuk denies serving as a guard at any camp and is free pending his appeal.
He's been in poor health for years and has been in and out of a hospital since his conviction.
Demjanjuk is barred from leaving Germany because he has no passport, but he could get a U.S. passport if the denaturalization ruling was overturned.
Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk was a Soviet Red Army soldier captured by the Germans in 1942. The Munich court found he agreed to serve the Nazis as a guard at Sobibor.
