This term (abbreviated RRC) appears to have two definitions in survey methodology.
The first is a process by which a sample of a population is traced forward from one census to the next, and then used to estimate the coverage of the census. For example, Statistics Canada (SC) has used reverse record check in its coverage measurement program since 1961. SC starts with a sample frame comprised of the previous census records (e.g., 1961 for 1966), records of migrations and births from the intercensal period, and records of the individuals from the previous reverse record check that were not captured by the previous census (e.g., the 1961 RRC individuals that were not located in the 1961 census). I believe recently they've added some other lists to their sample frame for the RRC as well, in order to cover the highly-migratory northern native populations. In any case, they then take a sample from that frame and do everything in their power, relying on administrative records and mail, phone and in-person contacts, to find the sample individuals. From that effort, they estimate who was captured correctly by the census, who was captured at the wrong location, and who was not captured at all, which in turn allows them to estimate undercoverage.
