Meldeschein
/ˈmɛldəˌʃaɪ̯n/· noun· Pl. die Meldescheine
registration form (that guests fill in at a hotel)
Der Meldeschein is the short form a guest signs at check-in: name, address, nationality, date of arrival and departure. By German law guests from abroad sign it by hand on the day they arrive (or confirm it electronically) and show their passport or ID card; for guests from Germany it is no longer needed. Often reception fills it in and the guest only checks and signs.
