Registrar in general refers to a person in charge of recordkeeping
in a particular subject matter. They are often found at universities and
colleges. A registrar's duties, among others, includes the recording and
preserving of the permanent academic records of students, administering
rules regarding exams, and observing the credentials of students applying
for admission.
For example, the following is an example of a state statute governing
the duties of a state land registrar:
- "The State Land Registrar shall keep a record of all lands
and interests in land held by the Division pursuant to NRS 321.001 and
of all lands and interests in land which have been sold by the Division.
These records, together with all plats, papers and documents relating to
the business of the State Land Office, must be open to public inspection
during office hours at no charge.
- The State Land Registrar shall procure from the Bureau of Land Management
one copy of each township plat of the public surveys now approved or which may subsequently be approved by the proper United States authorities, unless those copies have been previously obtained."
