Medical - Medical: Dentistry / new patient questionnaire
German term or phrase: Nachweis-Pass
I am translating a new patient questionnaire for a German dental practice. I am stuck on this question:

"Haben Sie einen der folgenden Nachweis-Pässe?" The word could also be spelt without a hyphen. The question is then followed by these possible answers:
Zahnärztliches Bonusheft
Zahnärztlicher Kinderpass
Röntgenpass / Strahlenpass
Herzpass
Allergiepass

document


Explanation:
This is a questionnaire - it's enough to write: Do you have/hold one of the following documents? That would be more usual in English than the high-falutin term.

agree  Thomas Pfann: Auch in GB heißen die i.d.R. passports (z.B. Insulin Passport, Heart Failure Passport, Allergy Passport). Wie die einzelnen Dokumente heißen, ist aber häufig je nach Region/Anbieter unterschiedlich – sollen ja auch nur Beispiele sein.
