Once the moving certificate was turn in, the parish priest had the option to keep the original or not. Many moving certificates were discarded or destroyed. Other parish priests chose to file them for future use. If an individual came asking for a moving out certificate, the priest would get the old moving certificate, write additional information on it and then reissue it to the person. A certificate that had been reissued many times can offer a wealth of information! <br>

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.) <br>
