Legal basis:

Article 10 of the "Hukou Registration Regulations of the People's Republic of China" When a citizen moves out of the jurisdiction of his household registration, he or the head of the household must register with the household registration before moving out. The registration authority declares the move-out registration, receives the migration certificate, and cancels the household registration. Citizens who move from rural areas to cities must hold an employment certificate from the urban labor department, a school admission certificate, or a certificate from the urban household registration authority approving the move, and apply to the household registration authority at the place of permanent residence to handle the move-out procedures. Citizens moving to border areas must obtain approval from the public security organs of the county, city, or municipal district where they are resident.
