Form do I need to certify periods of insurance in other countries to claim unemployment benefits (U1 form The U1 form certifies your periods of insurance in another EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland that will be taken into account for the calculation of unemployment benefits.

Form do I need to receive my unemployment benefits while looking for a job in another EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland (U2 form)
The U2 form is the authorisation you need to export your unemployment benefits. You can obtain it from the national employment service of the country where you became unemployed and you will have to submit it to the national employment service of the country where you wish to look for a job.
It corresponds to the old E303 form.

What does it mean if I receive a U3 form?
The U3 form is a warning from the host institution in the country where you are looking for a job. It means that this institution has alerted the institution in the country which is paying your unemployment benefits about the fact that your situation has changed and that these changes may need to be taken into account towards a revision of your benefit payments.

The U3 is delivered as a warning since your benefits may be reduced or stopped following this exchange between institutions. If you receive an E3 form, you may need to contact your home institution to check if your situation has been affected.
