New in Waren?

Step by step: the most important things for your start in Waren (Müritz) — in the order you will need them. At every step: we help you — just call or write to us (item 12).

1. Arriving and registering 🏛️

Register your home within two weeks at the residents' registration office of the town of Waren (town hall). Residence and asylum matters are handled by the foreigners' authority of the Mecklenburg Lake District.

waren-mueritz.de · lk-mecklenburgische-seenplatte.de

  • Bürgerbüro der Stadt Waren (Anmeldung) — Zum Amtsbrink 1 · ☎ 03991 177-0 · 📍 Karte
  • Bürgerservice des Landkreises (u. a. Ausländerbehörde) — Zum Amtsbrink 2 · 📍 Karte

⚖️ Legal questions (residence, asylum and family law): The Refugee Council of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania advises free of charge. For proceedings, a lawyer specialising in immigration, asylum or family law can help — search via the Deutsche Anwaltauskunft. Important: legal advice costs money. If your income is low, however, the state often covers the costs fully or in part (Beratungshilfe via the local court, Prozesskostenhilfe in court proceedings) — we help you apply.
