Michael Beijer Jun 16, 2023:
how about something like: Gewest Wanica afd. Goedgedragen =
Wanica District, Good conduct certificate department
Michael Beijer Jun 16, 2023:
goedgedragen It seems, "goedgedragen" is being used as the plural of a "[certificaat van] goedgedrag", i.e. a certificate of good conduct as Phil mentioned.
Michael Beijer Jun 16, 2023:
Behaved him or herself :-)
philgoddard Jun 16, 2023:
Have you Googled this? Gewest is district, Wanica is in Suriname, afd. is afdeling.
I imagine a goedgedrag is a certificate of good conduct. Is that what you have?
'Registration in the register' is a bit inelegant. 'Entry' would be better.

I think this would work:

Gewest Wanica afd. Goedgedragen =
Wanica District, Good conduct certificate department

thanks! I agree
agree Barend van Zadelhoff : Interesting. Een goedgedrag (een verklaring van goed gedrag). Twee goedgedragen. :-) By the way, van Dale has: 'certificate of moral conduct'. Does this make any sense?

Indeed. They are called all kinds of things. However, to most people in the UK, for example, it is best to avoid the word 'moral/morality', although that doesn't stop some people (see e.g.: https://www.brussels.be/certificate-morality )
