Birth certificate
It appears in a birth certificate. Not much context. It seems to refer to the terms or authority under which the certificate is issued.
Context: "Was born in: Name of the city on: XX/XX/XXX (Date) come risulta dall'atto No: xxx P.I.S.A. Reg.- Uff.-"

This is commonly used on birth/marriage/death certificates issued by Registrar's Offices in Italy (usually the Comune). I have being seeing this for some 20 years now in the official certificates I translate as a sworn translator.

Note from asker:
| Hello Selibas: This sounds reasonable, especially because sometimes one finds: P.II.S.A. Do you have a reference? Have you come across it before? Thank you very much |

Which city appears on the certificate as birth place? I can't explain the 'full stops' in between, but I read it as PISA, the city in Tuscany!!??
