Talking about post
-----
Mom: But anyway I'm going to send this parcel by registered mail.
Boy: Registered mail, good idea! What's that?
Mom: Well, to register something means you make a note that you've sent it.
Boy: Oh, how do you do that?
Mom: Well, to show that they received your parcel, the post office
gives you a registration receipt like this. And you write your name on
the receipt and the destination that's where you're sending the parcel
and the date, and then the post office will write a number on your parcel
and the same number on the receipt.

It is not very natural there in my US dialect. It is not a good description of registering. It normally means to write something down for your own use.
