When referring to an official document, the two words are closely related but refer to different processes. “Die Ausstellung” refers to creating and handing over the document, whereas “die Erteilung” means officially granting or approving something. Use “Ausstellung” when referring to the document itself and “Erteilung” when referring to the authorization.
Die Erteilung der Genehmigung erfolgt nach der Prüfung aller Unterlagen.
The approval is granted after all the documents have been reviewed.
Die Ausstellung des Dokuments erfolgt nach der Prüfung aller Unterlagen.
