entry, listing, recording, description in writing
The act of writing down or recording information in a document, form, or record. Used in formal and administrative contexts for putting information into written form.
住所を記載してください。
Please write down your address.
記載内容に間違いがないか確認した。

USAGE:
記載 is used in formal, written contexts — documents, forms, contracts, and official records. It is more formal than 書く (to write) and implies recording information in an organized, official manner. The passive form 記載されている (is listed/recorded) is particularly common when referring to information already written in a document.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 記載する: to record, to list
- 記載事項: items to be recorded
- 記載内容: recorded content
- 記載漏れ: omission in recording
