Answer 1

There are three options that come to my mind.

Combine User and Profile tables

Why are you separating the user account from the profile? I can't think of a good reason to (not saying there isn't one, I just can't think of one). Combining the tables would save you database queries and completely resolve this issue. I think this would be the best option.

Use model event.

Create a listener on the User::created event.

User::created(function(User $user) {
    $user->profile->save(Profile::create([... ]));
});

Use a repository

Create a user repository to manage all the data base querying. Then in the repository create method you can manually create the profile record and associate the two. Then use the repository in the Registrar instead of the Model directly
