If you re coming to this answer directly from a search  make sure you have already added the csrf token to your form with    csrf field      like the OP     If you have your session driver set to file   May have something to do with the storage path not being writable  This is where it stores session data regarding tokens if you re using file based sessions   The can be verified with is writable config  session files       For the OP  the session driver was set to array   Array is for testing only   Since data is not persisted  it will not be able to compare the token on the next request      The array driver is used during testing and prevents the data stored   in the session from being persisted    https   laravel com docs 5 5 session configuration    Check config session php  Lastly  an issue I just had  we had a project which has the session domain and secure settings in config session php but the development site was not using HTTPS  SSL TLS    This caused this generic error since sessions secure was set to true by default

Short answer  Add the route entry for register in app Http Middleware VerifyCsrfToken php  protected  except               routeTo register           and clear the cache and the cache route with the commands   php artisan cache clear  amp  amp  php artisan route clear   Details  Every time you access a Laravel site  a token is generated  even if the session has not been started  Then  in each request  this token  stored in the cookies  will be validated against its expiration time  set in the SESSION LIFETIME field on config session php file   If you keep the site open for more than the expiration time and try to make a request  this token will be evaluated and the expiration error will return  So  to skip this validation on forms that are outside the functions of authenticated users  such as register or login  you can add the except route in app Http Middleware VerifyCsrfToken php

I ran into the same issue in Laravel 5 5  In my case  it happened after changing a route from GET to POST  The issue was because I forgot to pass a CSRF token when I switched to POST    You can either post a CSRF token in your form by calling       csrf field        Or exclude your route in app Http Middleware VerifyCsrfToken php    protected  except              your route
