M10 electronic insurance notification to the university
In brief
This page explains the electronic status notification between a health insurance fund and a university. It does not review documents and does not establish that visa or residence requirements are fulfilled.
Type of sources used
Based on official information from the Federal Ministry of Health and Make it in Germany.
What the notification is
Where the procedure applies, the university receives an electronic notification of the student's health-insurance status from the competent health insurance fund. The student does not create the M10 notification themselves.
The notification is an administrative status message, not an insurance contract or benefit promise.
Who does what
The university needs the status for enrolment, the health insurance fund determines and transmits it, and the student provides the required information to the relevant fund.
- University: receives the status for enrolment.
- Health insurance fund: determines and transmits the status.
- Student: contacts the competent fund and provides the required information.
What the M10 notification does not prove
The notification concerns the university enrolment process. It does not replace decisions by a German mission or foreigners authority and does not automatically prove compliance with all visa or residence requirements.
Whether a private contract is sufficient for a specific procedure is decided by the competent bodies.
