Hi,

I just arrived in SH 2 weeks ago and need to register with the PSB to get my temporary residence before I can get my residence permit. The problem is that I am not staying at a hotel -- I am currently living at my Uncle's place while he is in the US.

I went to the PSB today with my uncle's booklet of Real Estate Ownership, but the woman said I also needed to bring my Uncle's Hukou booklet and ID card. There's no way I can get either, since he is away. What should I do?

I didn't know registering temporary residence required all these documents... I was under the impression I only needed to bring my passport and his Real Estate Ownership booklet? I'm pretty worried since I need my temporary registration before getting my residence permit!

Thanks for your help!

actually foreigners are required to do it within 24 hours of arrival, so be thankful they are not bothering you about that. But, what is the basis for your residence permit? Do you have a job lined up, what kind of visa do you have now etc.? You can't just get a residence permit only because you are here.
I suspect that since that are not bothering you about the late registration, they would not care if you spent one night in a local hotel and used that to apply for the temporary registration, then when your uncle returns, register the house address. The hotel will help you register/do it for you.
