Spanish term or phrase: vecino de
This is from a declaration written by somebody from Honduras. It begins as follows:

Yo, Fulanito, con identidad XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX, vecino de la ciudad de X, Y, y residente en la ciudad de Z, departmento de W, por medio de la presente doy fe que....

My understanding of a "vecino de" a city is a resident of that city; however, in this context, there is a differentiation maybe between "vecino de" and "residente en". How do you differentiate between these two terms?

"Vecino" pareciera ser un sinónimo de "originario de".

As this is not the place where the person lives at the moment, it should be his place of origin.

1 day 5 hrs

neutral  Wilsonn Perez Reyes: Normalmente, "vecino" se traduce como "resident", pero el problema es que en el documento de origen ya aparece "residente". Es decir, no debe usarse la palabra "residente" 2 veces. No tiene mucho sentido. Es redundante.

(registered) place of origin


Explanation:
I'm answering this with zero knowledge of how individuals have to be described in Honduras legal documents
However, I see something very similar for Switzerland where it's necessary to first state the Canton of origin (registration), followed by the current place of residence. This is also the case for foreigners, where the country (and often the town) of origin is stated
