Finnish term or phrase: 4. Väestorekisteri, jossa kirjoilla
It is an item in the form of the birth certificate. I understand it as the population register, where the person is registered. What is meant by this? Are there separate registers?
Context:
3. Synnytyssairaala
4. Väestorekisteri, jossa kirjoilla
5. Äidin osoite
Yuri Belov
Local register office of population registration
Explanation:
This expression is actually a relic.

There used to be local registers, handwritten books, in every community. Nowadays there is only one nationwide population register and local register offices only have access to this common register.

On the hand, it is conceivable that there are virtual local population registers using the one and same nationwide database.

In English these "väestörekisterit" seem to call themselves "local register offices"

Population register of record


Explanation:
Population registers can be parish or municipal registers. The register of record identifies the register in the case of each individual. Kirjoilla Helsingissä means registered in Helsinki.
