altas

Altas is the plural form of the Spanish noun alta. In everyday usage, altas appear in several administrative and institutional contexts, where the sense is related to enrollment, registration, or status changes. The most common uses are: 1) enrollment or registration in a system, service, or registry (for example, alta de usuario, alta en el padrón, alta en la Seguridad Social); 2) a discharge or release from hospital care in medical contexts (alta médica, alta hospitalaria), with the verb phrase dar de alta yielding the noun alta to denote the act of adding someone to a list or granting permission to proceed.

In employment and social security, altas denote newly registered workers or beneficiaries and are often documented as part of personnel records or payroll processing. The opposite action is baja, meaning removal or deregistration. The phrase altas y bajas is commonly used to describe entries and deletions in registries, membership lists, or service enrollments.

The term is widely used in Spanish-speaking countries and can appear in formal government communications, hospital notices, administrative paperwork, and human resources documentation. While altas can function as a general administrative concept, specific procedures and terminology vary by country, region, and institution.
