Usage Note

Inscripción covers the process or act of enrolling (hacer la inscripción — to register) and a physical inscription carved on a monument or coin. Unlike matrícula, which implies an official academic or vehicle register, inscripción is broader and used for event sign-ups, club memberships, and epigraphic texts alike. Plural inscripciones adds a syllable.

Examples

"El plazo de inscripción termina el viernes."

Natural Translation

The registration deadline is Friday.
