Movements of all persons from place to place were strictly regulated, with strictest regulations applying to Native Americans. This document was circulated throughout Lower California, and bears at the end certifications by provincial officials that the code had been read and explained to the Native Americans. These certifications are dated from numerous missions, among them Loreto, San Ignacio, San José de Comondú, Santa Rosalia, Santa Gertrudis, Santo Domingo, and San Rosario de Vinadaco.
