🧠 What it means

If darse de baja is opting out, then darse de alta is its happy, proactive twin. It means (drum roll 🥁)... 👉 to sign up / to register / to enroll And trust me, this chunk pops up EVERYWHERE, from setting up a phone line to registering for healthcare to opening a bank account.

🌪️ When to whip it out

Whenever you're getting officially added to a system:

Lo puedo dar de alta hoy mismo.
I can get you set up today.

Oh, and it’s also used when you’re discharged from the hospital:

Ya me dieron de alta.
I've already been discharged.
