As long as you don't want a monthly or longer season ticket, there is no
need to register.

I bought a monthly bus pass recently from a tube station. I wanted to
be able to lend it to my partner, so I asked if I could get it without
registering the Oyster card. Although ideally they would have liked me
to, they said that was okay and I now have a fully transferable monthly
bus pass. According to 'Fares & Tickets' I shouldn't really have been
able to buy this though.

Can revenue protection inspectors bring up your name and address on
their readers, from info stored on the Oyster card? Does this fill the
role of the photocards which used to be required? I suppose even if
they could, there's no requirement for anyone to carry proof of
identity anyway.
