How it's used

Used primarily for formal administrative processes like signing up for services, memberships, or official lists. It carries a sense of creating an official record, which distinguishes it from casual sign-ups or joining a group. When referring to signing up for a class or a competition, 報名 is often more natural than 登記.

Common mistake

Learners often use 登記 when they mean 報名. While 登記 implies being added to a registry or database, 報名 specifically focuses on the act of signing up to participate in an event or activity.
