A person who submits a formal application to an authority, a court, or another institution, for example for a permit, a passport, or social benefits.
Der Antragsteller muss alle erforderlichen Unterlagen persönlich einreichen.
The applicant must submit all required documents in person.
The word is made up of 'Antrag' (application) and 'Steller' (someone who places or submits something). A 'Steller' is a person who 'stellt' (places/submits) something. So the combination literally describes the person who submits an application.
Der Antragsteller wartet auf eine Antwort von der Behörde.
The applicant is waiting for a response from the authority.
The word belongs to the word family around 'der Antrag' (the application). The matching verb phrase is 'einen Antrag stellen' (to submit an application). This describes the action that an applicant carries out.

'Antragsteller' (applicant) is a typical word from administrative and legal language. In everyday speech, the person would often simply be described in another way.
