report / notification
'die Meldung' and 'die Registrierung' can both have to do with officially providing or entering data. 'Registrierung' emphasizes the process: you enter yourself or something in a list or system in order to be allowed to use something or take part. 'Meldung' is more the official notification to a responsible office, or the indication that something is being reported. The words can seem similar with authorities or online services. As a simple guide: for an entry in a system, you usually say 'Registrierung'. For an official notification or report to an office, 'Meldung' fits better.
