How to sign “Registration” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Registration” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Cross the middle finger of your dominant hand over its index finger to form an R.
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, palm facing upward like a paper form.
- Lay the R hand down across the fingers of the open palm.
- Lift the R, shift it a couple of inches toward the wrist, and set it down again.
- Make the double stamp motion with a matter-of-fact expression, as if handling paperwork.
Practice tip
The same citation sign as REGISTER — in casual conversation many signers swap this for the small scribbling SIGNATURE sign.
Fingerspell “Registration”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
