Fill In An/The Application For A/The Registration Of A/The New Company, Please.

ClivePlease note also that when we complete a form, we usually say fill out this form.But when we are talking about a specific detail on the form, we say eg Please fill in your date of birth.

OK, thanks for this information. If I make a mistake or can write something better, I am always grateful for feedback

Cliveeg Is it the person who works in the office where new companies are registered?

Yes, this is exactly the intended context.

Cliveeg Is it your boss, after she has told you all about the new company?

I didn't think about this, but now you made me intrigued. Would the articles for application and registration differ in this context? I assume the ending would be obviously 'the new company' instead of 'a new company' here.

See if this helps.

________________________________________________________________________________

BOSS: Now that you know all about the new company, I'd like you to register it.

YOU: OK,I'll go and fill out a registration form this afternoon.

YOU, at your colleague Tom's desk: Hey, Tom, the boss is starting a new company. He wants me to register it. Do you know how to do that?

TOM: Sure.You just fill out an application to register the new company. The form is called 'Registration of a Company'.

YOU: Good morning. I'd like to register a new company, please.

CLERK in the government registration office: Please fill out this form.

Yes, it helps
And you didn't refer specifically to the original sentence, so either you didn't find it natural and suggested to abandon it altogether, or you wanted me to figure it out on my own now. Let me try:

1) First context - boss after a thorough description of a new company
Fill out an application for a registration of the new company, please.
an application - first mention, not familiar to the receiver, so the indefinite article
a registration - like above, however, I am now considering zero article as the best choice (treating registration as uncountable here)
the company - second or nth mention

2) Second context - clerk giving advice
Fill out an application for a registration of a new company, please.
Here everything is new to the receiver, so this sentence is not overly helpful given his situation. And as you indicated, better to point out to a given paper or hand it over, and say 'fill out this application'.

Could you please confirm if I am correct or wrong?
