How to sign “Registrations” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Registrations” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Cross the middle finger of your dominant hand over its index finger to form an R.
  2. Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, palm facing upward like a paper form.
  3. Lay the R hand down across the fingers of the open palm.
  4. Lift the R, shift it a couple of inches toward the wrist, and set it down again.
  5. Make the double stamp motion with a matter-of-fact expression, as if handling paperwork.

Practice tip

Plural of “Registration” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.

Fingerspell “Registrations”

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
