How it's used
Used primarily for formal administrative processes like enrolling in school, signing up for professional services, or filing legal documents. While it implies an official record, it is rarely used for casual signups like creating an online account, where 登記 is far more common. It carries a sense of permanence and legal or institutional weight.
Examples
Have you finished the registration procedures yet?
I need to go to school to register next week.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual signups or simple registrations like joining a website or a mailing list, as it sounds overly formal and stiff in those contexts; use 登記 instead.
