Registrar

Definition and stakes

Edward William Brabrook and Carroll Davidson Wright,  1911 Encyclopædia Britannica (1911)

“ Registry under a particular name may be refused if in the opinion of the registrar the name is likely to deceive the members or the public as to the nature of the society or as to its identity. It is the duty of the chief registrar, among other things, to require from every society a return in proper form each year of its receipts and expenditure, funds and effects; and also once every five years a valuation of its assets and liabilities. ”
