Swedish term

Folkbokföringsnummer

Swedish to English Social Sciences Government / Politics Rental agreement
Hello

This is on a rental agreement form and i've learned that

"Vad är Folkbokföringsnummer?
Enligt Skatteverkets definition är lägenhetsnummer och folkbokföringsnummer samma sak. Du som bor i en lägenhet ska vara folkbokförd på lägenheten. Lägenhetsnumret är en del av din adress och består av fyra siffror som visar vilken våning och var på våningen lägenheten finns. "

so it's not your personal ID number nor the lot number (which I have elsewhere in the form)

I can't find a single official translation for this term and there seems to be lots of ways to go about it as the number designates not only the apartment but the occupant or censuses (information on population)

So I'm looking for ideas how to translate this

Thanks
Proposed translations (English)
4 -1 population registration number // civil registration number
3 -1 (BrE: civil-parish electoral-ward) census property tax number
2 -2 population register number

@ Ice Scream and all I'm not so sure myself that this was the best choice but Folkbokföring is translated in some contexts as "census".I do wonder if "resident registration" would have been better now?
Christopher Schröder May 16, 2022:
Why census?
SafeTex (asker) May 15, 2022:
@all Thanks for the suggestions. I finally went with "apartment census number" for a number of reasons.

population register number

Try with this suggestion (reference below). I am not sure if this would be the correct translation to English, though, because "Folkbokföringsnummer" has obviously different meanings in different Nordic countries.

(BrE: civil-parish electoral-ward) census property tax number

The explanation rings UK council rather than national income tax bells, A country-neutral terms, so Ireland's Local Property Tax or property tax as in the US of A may be preferable to the UK's *Council Tax Ref. No.* Cut to ex-PM Maggie Thatcher's short-lived, 'riotous' Poll Tax.

> national or (personnummer) civic registration number; US social security number, även personal (ID?) number, Gullberg.

folkbokföring: national registration, Prisma.

folkbokföring : gemensam beteckining på *kyrkobokförigen* genom pastorsämbetena och mantalskrivining genom de lokala skattemyndigheterna . > anger medborgarnas och de fast bosatta utlänningarnas lokala hemvist., Juridikens termer, Almqvist & Wiksell.
Example sentence:

The UK: Civil parishes -> Each ward/division has an average electorate of about 5,500 people, but ward-population counts can vary substantially.

population registration number // civil registration number

Population registration in Sweden[1] (Swedish: folkbokföring) is the civil registration of vital events (e.g. births, deaths, and marriages) of the inhabitants of Sweden. The data is kept in the population registry (folkbokföringsregister) and is administered by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). The registry spans several centuries and is thus often used by genealogists.

I also thought of
personal identity number
but that would be a personnummer
