Usage tips
Participle as adjective
'Gemeldet' is the past participle of the verb 'melden' (to report/register). Here it is used like an adjective to describe a state: the state of being registered with an authority.
EXAMPLE

Sentence structure with 'in'
The construction is typically: person + 'sein' (to be) + place + 'gemeldet' (registered). The place is usually given with the preposition 'in' and the dative.
