inscriptos

Inscriptos is a term used in several Romance-language traditions to denote people who have been entered in a formal list or registry. It functions as both a noun and an adjective and refers to individuals who are registered or enrolled in a system, program, or event. In practice, inscriptos are those whose names appear on an official registry, such as a voter roll, a student roster, a professional registry, an association's membership list, or a participant list for a conference or program.

The concept is widely used in contexts involving enrollment, attendance, or eligibility. For example, electoral administrations may refer to qualified voters as inscriptos on the electoral register; universities and schools maintain inscriptos as enrolled students; professional boards list inscriptos who meet licensing requirements; and event organizers maintain inscriptos for attendance tracking.

Linguistically, inscriptos is the masculine plural form used in some languages, with gendered variants existing in those languages. The term is often related to inscriptions or registrations and is sometimes used interchangeably with synonyms such as inscritos, inscritas, or inscritos depending on the local language. In many jurisdictions, lists of inscriptos are considered personal data and subject to privacy and data-protection laws; accuracy, access, and rectification rights apply, and usage is typically restricted to the stated purpose of the registry.
