Sorry, doesn't ring a bell.
In Malaysia they're sold over the counter for cash without any registration
process or ID check.
I recently bought one in Thailand and the registration consisted of someone
copying my name off a photocopy of my passport in such a way that nobody
would ever have been able to read it (maybe three of the letters were
correct). Not too rigorous.

You are in the USA. Are you asking about payg in the USA or about usin
it in another country? Most countries (USA included) do not ask for an
information. You can even buy payg sims on eBay
