　Until now, when a person who uses the system moves in or out, usually performs procedures such as returning the grant documents (such as an oath receipt) to the local government of the transferee (before moving), and at the local government where you moved. It was necessary to make an oath again with required documents and others.
　With the start of intercity (between local governments), in the future, only procedures to the local government of the transferee that has concluded an agreement will be performed, and procedures to the local government of the transferee (before moving) will not be required. In addition, it is now possible to omit the submission of documents (such as certificate of partial family register) to confirm that you are single to the local government you are moving to.
(In addition, when we are transferred to Yokohama-shi from local government where Yokohama-shi concludes cooperation agreement, we issue oath receipt of Yokohama-shi again.)
