German term

Einschreiben

German to English Law/Patents General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Since this is a Swiss German letter I wonder if "Einschreiben" means something else than "registered mail (or the British equivalent since it is UK target language)", because it is found inside the letter below the letterhead.

***EINSCHREIBEN***
[Name of pharmaceutical company]
[Address]

VERFUEGUNG

Bewilligung des klinischen Versuchs [Nummer]
Referenznummer [Nummer]
Kategorie []

Not sure. Any suggestions?

Das ist üblich, dass man im Schreiben selbst über der Anschrift in Grossbuchstaben (manchmal auch unterstrichen) Einschreiben schreibt. Auf dem Briefumschlag stand das sich auch.

At least in Ireland, it's a registered letter.
Note from asker:
...and "registered letter" is used in the UK as well? I saw previous questions about it where it was not necessarily clear what is used in British English.

agree Alexander Schleber (X) : While "einschreiben" could be translated as fill in or register, in this case registered letter is the only option.
