Various answers to this specific question because there are no clarifying details of which specific Superhuman Registration Act from which Marvel comic universe.

The FIRST Registration Act for all superhuman beings in a Marvel Book came from the 1980's X-Men comics Mutant Registration Act. Came forth as an act of registering mutants in order to regulate and discriminate from the government and general populace, this act came to being with the exposure of mutants from the X-Men themselves.

What is more close to counting to all Superhuman registration was the Metahuman Act in the 1990's Fantastic Four comics, but only dealt with superhumans who were born with powers instead of people who later developed or gained powers.

The next Super Human Registration Act came from the 2006's Civil War Comics which ideas and laws came from the Mutant Registration Act but under a new name to help re-enforce the law. This wasn't a direct effect of a specific Super Hero team but rather because of a large amount of super human beings now exposed/living on Earth and the Government trying to regulate and control the super power populace. Which idealism came into the laps of Iron Man and Captain America who then fought over the idea of whether a registration act should take place or not.

Just for some extra trivia: The Keene Act, of 1977 in Watchmen, which made it illegal for costumed vigilante or adventurer groups to form or act unless they were approved by the government, eg. The Comedian. Rorschach thought it was a load of garbage and kept going vigilante anyway.
