registrado

Registrado is the masculine singular past participle of registrar, a verb meaning to record, enroll, or enter into an official list. As an adjective, registrado denotes that something has been entered into a formal record and is thus officially documented or authorized. The feminine form is registrada; the plural forms are registrados (masculine or mixed gender) and registradas (feminine). The term derives from Latin registratus, the past participle of registrare.

Common contexts include civil and administrative records, property and trademarks, and digital platforms. Examples: “un vehículo registrado” (a registered vehicle); “documentos registrados en el registro civil” (documents filed in the civil registry); “una marca registrada” (a registered trademark); “un usuario registrado” (a registered user). It contrasts with “no registrado” meaning unregistered. The concept emphasizes official recognition or inclusion in a system.

Usage notes: registro and registro civil are common in legal and administrative language, with registrado appearing in phrases such as “propiedad registrada” or “persona registrada.” In translation, the English term “registered” corresponds to registrado or registrada, depending on gender and number. The feminine form, registradas, is used for plural feminine references, while registrados covers masculine or mixed groups. The term is widely used across Spanish-speaking countries in legal, commercial, and digital contexts.
