Problem:Question: What's the difference in meaning between "register" and "registry"? Can both be used interchangeably when talking about an official (public) list of items, records?
Answer: Registry is a place of registration or a book or list in which registration is made. Registration is the act of registration, so a registration number is a number under which something such as a company or a person is registered. A registry number, however, is the number given to a place of registration or a book or list of registration, since too many of them may be around, but that number is not large, say, in five digits mostly because there are only a limited number of registration places or books or lists that are in existence for every particular purpose while a registration number involving companies, items, goods or persons may be as large as 16 digits and more and may comprise from letters and digits both, because there a great many numbers of those items or companies or persons who are registered.
Solution:
no
