What paperwork is required to register my residence in Malchin?

When you move to Malchin, you must complete the “Anmeldung” (registration) at the town’s registration office within two weeks of arrival. Required documents include a valid passport or ID, a completed registration form (available online or at the office), and a rental contract or proof of residence. If you’re from a non‑EU country, you’ll also need a residence permit and possibly a proof of health insurance. The office will issue a registration certificate, which you’ll need for opening a bank account, obtaining a tax ID, and applying for a driver’s licence.
