A&P that I have been working with, and fly it to the States but my
concern is with the aircraft registration not being present on the
aircraft.


Assuming your A&P is going to check balance and install the control
surfaces, you should be ready to go. The registration does not have
to be painted on by the shop. Get something easily removable, like
shoe polish and paint your own numbers on it.

Tempra paint or electrical tape work well in this application.

Isn't tempra paint extremely soluable in water? Could prove
embarassing if you had to fly through some rain before you arrived at
U.S. Customs :-) "It really says N1234, Mr. customs man. We just
used a new hallucinagenic font for the tail numbers."

Or a high quality masking tape, outlined in wide magic marker if necessary
to make the numbers sufficiently visible.

Speaking of tempra paint. I was a volunteer at an airshow once that
featured the Blues. They had a plane break down shortly before the show (they
never told us what the issue was). They pushed that plane aside, and washed the
number off the tail. Less than an hour later, a replacement plane showed up on
final with the proper number already displayed on the tail and the did their
show on time.
