How to say I want to make an appointment?


This is something I've been wondering about for a very long time now.
jisho.org lists quite many different words for "appointment" like e.g.
任命、待ち合わせ、予約 and a few more.

But it's not clear to me which to use when. So my question today is how do I
say

> I'd like to make an appointment. (when for example calling up a doctor's
> practice)

and how to say

> I'd like to make an appointment to change my foreign driver's license into a
> Japanese one. (when calling up the prefectural police)

I'm sure I had other situations where I really really needed this word but
didn't know it but right now I can't remember.




I would say

> 予{よ}約{やく}をお願{ねが}いしたいのですが

for "I'd like to make an appointment. (when for example calling up a doctor's
practice)"

and

>
> 外{がい}国{こく}の運{うん}転{てん}免{めん}許{きょ}を日{に}本{ほん}のものに切{き}り替{か}えたいのですが、予{よ}約{やく}をお願{ねが}いします

for "I'd like to make an appointment to change my foreign driver's license
into a Japanese one. (when calling up the prefectural police)"

For the record, Japanese version ->
<https://www.police.pref.hokkaido.lg.jp/guide/menkyo/gai_menkyo-kirikae.html>
uses the word 予約.

For the record (again,) 任命 corresponds to "an act of assigning a job or
position to someone," and 待ち合わせ corresponds to "an arrangement to meet someone
at a particular time and place"
