entry
The process by which information is recorded in writing in a list, register, book, or database. It also refers to the recorded information itself.
Die Eintragung ins Handelsregister ist für die Gründung einer GmbH zwingend erforderlich.
Entry in the commercial register is mandatory for founding a GmbH.
'Eintragung' (entry) is a noun derived from the separable verb 'eintragen' (to enter / record). The ending '-ung' forms feminine nouns from verbs and describes an action or its result.
Der Notar kümmert sich um die Eintragung des neuen Eigentümers ins Grundbuch.
The notary takes care of the entry of the new owner in the land register.
This word is used mainly in formal, official, or legal contexts. Typical examples are entries in a register, an official book, or a database.
Für die Anerkennung des Vereins ist die Eintragung ins Vereinsregister notwendig.
For the recognition of the association, entry in the register of associations is necessary.
Common verbs are 'eine Eintragung vornehmen' (to make an entry, formal) or 'machen' (to make). The information is entered 'in' a document (with the accusative), e.g. 'die Eintragung ins Handelsregister' (the entry in the commercial register).
Der Beamte hat die Eintragung meiner neuen Adresse vorgenommen.
The official made the entry of my new address.
registration / reception
'die Anmeldung' and 'die Eintragung' are often connected, because during an 'Anmeldung', data may be entered into a list, register, or system. However, 'Anmeldung' emphasizes the step of officially registering for something or taking part in something. 'Eintragung' emphasizes more that information is recorded in writing, for example in a list, book, or database. The words can be confused because an 'Eintragung' often follows an 'Anmeldung'. If it is about participation, 'Anmeldung' is more natural. If it is about the written entry itself or recording data, 'Eintragung' fits better.
