Moving certificates (called Flyttnings attest or Flyttnings betyg) were created for people who were moving from their parish to reside in another. The certificate was filled out by the parish priest (from the moving out parish), carried by the person moving, and given to the parish priest who presided over the “moving in parish”. The original purpose was to authorize the person moving to partake of communion with their new parish.<ref>“Det ursprungliga syftet var att intyga att den som fått attesten (begyget) var berättigad att delta i nattvarden."

*The priest who issued the moving out certificate always wrote his name, date, and place of residence somewhere on the note (often at the bottom.) This can be confusing because the priests "parish of residence" is not always the same as the parish that the person is moving from. This is often the case where the priest who presided over multiple parishes in his [[Swedish Pastorat|pastorat]] has written a moving out certificate for a person moving from one of his parishes (just not the mother parish where the priest resides.) | *The priest who issued the moving out certificate always wrote his name, date, and place of residence somewhere on the note (often at the bottom.)
