Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Ildiko Santana

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

residing in/at

This is natural flow of words when translating Hungarian birth or marriage certificates.
You use "at" when a full address is given, and you use "in" when the locality is given. The term residence is also good, but it refers to the dwelling, while the "residing in/at" refers to the address.

residence

This is the place where he lived. Or probably where his parents did. It could be current address, address, place of residence. They all mean the same.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ildiko Santana : correct spelling: LAKÓHELY, meaning: PLACE OF RESIDENCE
