Can the folks at the airport really tell whether you've registered? I think not. There is no longer any registration data written on migration cards. Registrations (or, more accurately, I believe, notification) performed via the post office will be delayed while the paperwork is delivered to the appropriate government agency. So, even then it will quite often not be in the computer when you leave the country.
