Italian term or phrase: Sezione della popolazione (Switzerland)
Has anyone got any idea how to describe/translate this in English? I know that it is responsible for "registro civil" and migration but can't think of a way to describe it or any near equivalent.

I'm thinking of just leaving it in Italian with a general description...

Thanks!

Explanation:
This is a weasel word to avoid terms suggesting discriminating foreigners specific to Switzerland. Can be rendered through straight translation preserving the original ambiguity.
