legal residence
Where you're registered
Legal residence is the place where a person officially lives for purposes of law—voting, taxation, jurisdiction, and government benefits.
It may differ from where someone actually spends most of their time: Her legal residence is Texas, but she works in California most of the year.
Also called domicile in formal legal contexts.
