With the 1671 bakufu decree that made it mandatory to create Shumon-Ninbetsu-Aratame-Cho, the system of shumon aratame was completed together with the terauke seido, where Shogunal subjects were required to belong, in principle, to specific temples (family temples excluding the Fujufuse School, and sometimes shrines, depending on the domain).
1671年（寛文11年）幕府は宗門人別改帳の作成を義務付け、原則として特定の仏教寺院（不受不施派を除く檀那寺、藩によっては神社もあった）に属する寺請制度とともに宗門改が確立した。
