Registration itself being a statutory process as well as historically, Kings would mandate shipowners register their boats before embarking on the seas.

In the example provided the registration was outside the scope of fealty (taxation). The registration allows for competency (driver license outside the scope of revenue) and authority to be on the road - insurance (ability to compensate others in the event of a misjudgment - accident).
