registration system

Official enrollment process

A registration system is an organized method for recording and tracking entries—whether people, vehicles, property, or other items requiring official documentation.

Universities use registration systems for course enrollment; governments maintain them for voters, births, and land titles.

The term often appears in software contexts: The conference website's registration system crashed from heavy traffic.
