registration / reception
'die Anmeldung' and 'die Voranmeldung' both mean that you register for something. 'die Anmeldung' is the general term and fits many situations, for example for a course or an exam. 'die Voranmeldung' emphasizes that you have to register in advance, that is, before an appointment or event. The words can be confused because every 'Voranmeldung' is also a kind of 'Anmeldung'. If the timing is important and you need to secure a place beforehand, 'Voranmeldung' is more precise.
