English term or phrase: The house...
I 'm sorry if this question is too easy.
What do you call a official document that contain information about the house, such as, resident name, address, date of resident's entry etc.

Selected answer:residents' registration document
Explanation:
Theeraphat,
One very important consideration to keep in mind is that every nation has different laws and regulations concerning the registration of citizens. In Germany, for example, it is a requirement for every citizen to register in the town where they are living. In the US this is not done, so there is no US English equivalent of what you're looking for. Please tell us the country that requires this kind of registration.

Really? No such document in other countries? I haven't known it before. I think the word "resident registration document" is quite acceptable. I 'll use it and go to bed.
