That's correct. The only purpose of the registry is to count noses--put a number on the recreational fishing population. Which is why most if not all states are granting license reciprocity--they only want everyone to be counted once. Once you have a license, the state that issued it will presumably send the requested data to NOAA.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
