On date I was informed by my manager that our aircraft registration had expired on [date].  I operated one training flight as PIC on [date]. I am guilty of just ensuring that the document was onboard the aircraft while not ensuring that it was valid.  A contributing factor is that the aircraft registration is addressed to our company headquarters; which is a different address than our hangar.  Due to COVID related staffing; our FAA reminders were never delivered to our hangar.  It is still my responsibility to ensure that the correct documentation is on the aircraft prior to flight. We have instituted the following changes to ensure this does not happen again:1.  Added the registration expiration to our maintenance tracking software.  This will flag our maintenance team when expiration is near.  It will also be printed on the preflight form used by the pilots.2.  Training will occur and language will be added to our Operating Procedures and/or our expanded normal procedures document to ensure that a valid registration is on board.3.  A consultant company has been hired to automatically renew our registration and deliver it directly to our hangar.
