Explanation:
Suggestion for finding an equivalent understood in EN speaking countries.

I would use Certificate of Occupancy for "habite-se"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_permit

A construction permit or building permit is a permit required in most jurisdictions for new construction, or adding onto pre-existing structures, and in some cases for major renovations. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. Failure to obtain a permit can result in significant fines and penalties, and even demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_of_occupancy

A certificate of occupancy is a document issued by a local government agency or building department certifying a building's compliance with applicable building codes and other laws, and indicating it to be in a condition suitable for occupancy.

@ Mário,

This is from my third link above:

|--|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------| |3 |CERTIFICADO AO PÉ DE DEMOLIÇÃO |10 |
|--|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------| |4 |CERTIFICADO AO PÉ DE CONSTRUÇÃO |10 |
|--|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------| |5 |CERTIFICADO AO PÉ / HABITE-SE |15 |

Therefore, my reasoning for my suggestion. There are very few hits in Google for "certificado ao pé" and they're all lead me to think it's a construction/building permit. Off course, I could be wrong.

agree  Mario Freitas: I think "habite-se" and "certificado ao pé" are issued after the construction is completed. These are documents that authorize the occupation.
