Address registration needed for Approbation?

Question

I'm still abroad but starting my Approbation application in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Do I need Anmeldung (German address) already?

Usually you can start from abroad: no Anmeldung needed to submit, but you need a reliable postal address for official letters and sometimes for the final Urkunde. Use a trusted contact address and start translations early.

But they may ask for a German address for the final Urkunde. Use a trusted contact if possible.

I applied from abroad in another Bundesland. They didn't need Anmeldung, just passport and a contact address.
