To add custom fields WordPress user registration page we need to utilize the hook user_new_form because since WordPress 3.7 the hook register_form no longer works. Here is an example of adding a checkbox to the end of the user registration form.

<?php
//Add a new form element...
add_action( 'user_new_form', 'es_plugin_register_form' );

function es_plugin_register_form() {
	?>
	<table class="form-table">
	<tbody>
	<tr>
		<th scope="row"><label for="parent_account"><?php _e( 'Parent Account', 'eversion' ) ?></label></th>
		<td><label for="parent_account"><input name="parent_account" id="parent_account" value="1" type="checkbox">Create a parent account?</label></td>
	</tr>
	</tbody>
	</table>
	<?php
}


//Save our extra registration user meta.
add_action( 'user_register', 'es_myplugin_user_register' );

function es_myplugin_user_register( $user_id ) {
	if ( isset( $_POST['parent_account'] ) ) {
		update_user_meta( $user_id, 'parent_account', 1 );
	}
}

?>

<?php

//Add a new form element...

add_action( 'user_new_form', 'es_plugin_register_form' );

function es_plugin_register_form() {

<tbody>

<tr>

<td><label for="parent_account"><input name="parent_account" id="parent_account" value="1" type="checkbox">Create a parent account?</label></td>

</tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<?php

}

//Save our extra registration user meta.

add_action( 'user_register', 'es_myplugin_user_register' );

function es_myplugin_user_register( $user_id ) {

if ( isset( $_POST['parent_account'] ) ) {

update_user_meta( $user_id, 'parent_account', 1 );

}
