Registrera

Registrera is a Swedish verb meaning to enter information into an official record, to enroll in a service, or to file a formal record. It is used when a person or organization completes the process to obtain rights, access, or recognition in a registry, database, or official ledger. Common contexts include registering for online services, registering a new product or business, registering a vehicle, or enrolling in courses or events.

Etymology: The term derives from Latin registrare, to enter in a register, via French enregistrer and the broader family of words such as English register.

Usage and forms: The noun form is registrering (registration). The past tense is registrerade; the passive form registreras. Reflexive form registrera sig means to sign up or register oneself. In Swedish, registrera is formal and is often preferred in administrative contexts; verbs like anmäla are used in more general or informal sign-up situations.

Contexts: Government and business registries include company registration at Bolagsverket and vehicle registration with Transportstyrelsen; domain registration is common for digital services; individuals may register to vote or register for services online. Data collection for registration is subject to data protection laws, such as GDPR, and often requires a stated purpose and consent.
