By default you get a 200 response code, you can change it by returning an response with a specific code.

// with an object
return new Illuminate\Http\Response('your cpntent', 201);

// Or with an helper
return \response('your content', 201);

// Or with the factory injected as depencency
public function register(ValidationRequest $request, Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\ResponseFactory $responseFactory)
{
    $arr = ['email' => $request->input('email'), 'password' => $request->input('password')];
    $this->userService->createUser($arr);
    return $responseFactory->make('your content', 201);
}

Thanks for your answer. I have tried as example this variant: return \response('your content', 201); But I'm still getting response 200, any ideas? [https://drive.google.com/file/d/13LbRbASd6g8xQcfOpkOvtdK5fnxO9...](Postman response)

Hmm, do you have any middleware on that route that could change it? It sounds strange that you get a 200 while you define the 201 response code.
