Registration (date)
In this type of context, I usually translate this perpetual bugbear as "registration/authorisation"...

THERE, not "their". Naughty dragon!

In fact, this type of town hall speak would probably use something like "relocation from other municipality " for "Proc. Otro município"...

causa de alta
background to the (voters') registration
--- of the inhabitants' or local residents' list > UK: *entry* on the local voters' list, sometimes with mis-spelt 'foreign' names.

OK: I included the 'causa' (reason or financial consideration!) only to set the scene for the 'alta' and - as part of my contribution 'no causada' (unrewarded) - distinguish the weasel word from a plethora of other KudoZ glossary entries.
