register

0Hi teachers,02br
02br
00I am confused about the use of register . In the newspapers sometimes they write " The people must 01b00register 01u00for02u02b01u00 02u01b00permanent residence02b00 " , sometimes they write " The people must 01b00register permanent02b00 01b00residence02b00 " . Which one is right ? When will " for" be used after " register " ?02br
02br
00Similarly , we register birth for our child or we register for birth for our child ?02br
02br
00Your clarification on this is greatly appreciated .02br
