How to use it
Registrar means 'to register', 'to record', or 'to search'. Three B2 senses: (1) record/log (registrar datos); (2) register officially (registrar una marca); (3) search/inspect (registrar un domicilio). Context distinguishes them. Reflexive registrarse = check in/register oneself.
Common mistake
Three distinct senses: record, register officially, and search (police). In everyday digital contexts, registrarse en (sign up to a platform) is the reflexive standard. Don't confuse with grabar (record audio/video).
