Morphology

registration = register (transparent) = register + ation

The document sense is a common extension of the nominalization 'registration' (the record resulting from registering) and is predictable from the base.

Etymology

Registration comes from register, a written list or 'record' of names. From that idea we get the paper that shows you are on the list, so a registration can be the official document that proves you are registered.
