Does the residence permit mean the household registration book?

The household registration book, that is, the household registration book, refers to the name, place of origin, date of birth, education, industry and specific occupation of the registered household registration personnel. China's household registration book is a basic household administration document that comprehensively reflects the basic population information such as the personal identity of the registered population.

Residence permit is a positive attempt made by some cities in China to learn from the "green card" system in developed countries, which has accumulated useful experience for China to formulate skilled migration measures and eventually form a nationwide "green card" system. At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities have successively introduced the work residence permit system in order to introduce talents. Holders of residence permits can enjoy the treatment of local residents in their work and life.

So it is a completely different concept.
