1. abstract copy; extract of an official register

An official document that reproduces only the portion of a register relating to one person, as opposed to a copy of the whole register. Almost always used in compounds such as 戸籍(こせき)抄本(しょうほん).

A 抄本(しょうほん) extracts only the part of an official register relating to one person, while a 謄本(とうほん) reproduces the entire register. Rarely used alone — it almost always appears in compounds.
