Esta frase aparece en un certificado de defunción de Uruguay y para más contexto dice:

Leída esta acta, la firman conmigo los declarantes en el documento que queda glosado en el libro móvil correspondiente.

Puedo traducirlo literalmente, "mobile book" pero no me parece que sea muy adecuado para el contexto.

Es para Canadá.

Interesting information I do hope someone enters this as an answer, so that it goes into the glossary, as I think it's a useful item for future reference.
David Hollywood Jul 27, 2021:
I think this is ok in your context. Thinking of providing access to resources otherwise unavailable in remote areas...
Joss Heywood Jul 26, 2021:
Yes, if this is correct, then "mobile registry office" would be OK. José Patricio's suggestion is good too - I can't find anything to confirm this in Uruguay though.
Rosana Maciel (asker) Jul 26, 2021:
Thank you for the information. So I guess it would be safe to refer to it as "Mobile registry office", I assume?

Mobile registry office In the interior of Argentina (Chaco and Villa María, Cordoba, at least) they use the term "Libro Movil" for a mobile registry office visiting smaller towns. "Según el informe del Registro Civil, en la oficina central se anotaron 194 bebés, en tanto que otros 24 fueron inscriptos en el Libro Móvil". I don't know if they also use this term in Uruguay, but they do have mobile registry offices there: "El Registro Civil móvil realizó más de cuatro mil trámites en 2019". https://www.diarioriouruguay.com.ar/politica/el-registro-civ...

Yo supongo que libro móvil se refiere a un registro informatizado en contraste con los antiguos libros tradicionales.
