In the P R China it is/was known as a 'hukou'

Here is the definition from Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press "A Chinese-English Dictionary", Beijing, 1995:

hukou = registered permanent residence
hukoubu/hukouben = (permanent) residence booklet

If you are referring to China, then because hukou is such a wellknown term for people dealing with China, I suggest 1 hukou (residence document), and 2 temporary hukou certificate

If it is another country, then you might like to consider the same approach (ie the 'foreign-language' word with an English explanation)
