The plan, the money, and the fine print—without making you open fourteen tabs to find it.
Registered at Life is a personal goal registry for experiences, projects, education, milestones, and other real-life plans. You explain the goal, set a target, and share a page so people who want to help can contribute. It is an intentional way to fund a plan, not a promise that it will be fully funded.
No. You can build a registry for a trip, training, a creative project, a home improvement, a fresh start, or another lawful personal goal. A milestone can be the occasion, but it is not required.
Yes. Start for a friend lets you prepare a private draft and send a claim invitation through Messenger. Your friend signs in with the invited email, verifies it, claims the draft, then edits it and connects their own Stripe payout account before publishing. Invitations expire after 14 days and can be renewed or canceled in My invitations. Alternatively, choose Someone else in the regular builder to remain the organizer, connect your own Stripe account, and receive and manage the funds for their stated purpose. Existing registries and contributions cannot be transferred through the invitation feature. Recipient details on organizer-managed registries cannot change after contributions start; contact Support for corrections.
Yes. The owner can add trusted helpers from the registry dashboard. Helpers can edit goals, post updates, thank contributors, and help promote the registry. They cannot change the payout account or publish the registry.
Yes. You can join and explore without creating a registry immediately. When you are ready, create a registry and add specific goals with the amounts you are trying to cover.
Travel, experiences, education, career changes, creative work, personal projects, and milestones are generally eligible. Prohibited and restricted categories include investments, gambling, unlawful goods, deceptive claims, and some regulated products. Review the funding rules before publishing.
You can choose a searchable public registry or a link-only registry. A link-only page can still be opened by anyone who has its URL, so avoid putting information there that you would not want shared onward. Pausing a registry hides it from visitors.
No. A contributor can open a registry, choose a goal and amount, and complete secure guest checkout without creating either account.
Creating, editing, archiving, and sharing a registry are free. The founding Registered at Life platform fee is 4% of each successful contribution. Stripe payment-processing charges are separate and vary by payment method and other factors.
Creators connect a Stripe payout account before publishing a registry that accepts contributions. Stripe processes payments and routes the remaining amount to that connected account after the platform fee and applicable processing costs. Registered at Life does not hold the funds for the creator.
No. Contributions are voluntary gifts toward the creator's stated personal goals. They are not purchases of a promised item, loans, investments, equity, or tax-deductible charitable donations through Registered at Life.
No. Funding progress does not reserve admission, a flight, a course, or an operator. Creators should verify price, availability, and cancellation terms directly before booking and update contributors if a plan materially changes.
Creators complete Stripe identity and payout onboarding, and registry details are screened against funding rules. Flagged content can be paused for human review. These checks do not guarantee every statement or eventual use of funds, so contribute only when you are comfortable supporting the stated goal.
Contributions are generally final, but contact Support promptly if there was a mistake, fraud, duplicate payment, or a canceled goal. Refund availability depends on payment status, available funds, applicable law, and Stripe's processing rules. Approved refunds return to the original payment method.
The creator should tell contributors and work with Registered at Life on an appropriate resolution if they cannot use the money substantially as described. A changed plan is not a reason to disappear with the update button.
Use the Support page to report suspected fraud, misleading information, prohibited activity, a payment issue, or trouble with your registry. Include the registry link and relevant receipt reference, but never send a full card number, password, or bank credential.
