I'm creating a moving checklist and want to make sure my address is changed with every resource. What are some things I should add to my checklist?
1. Change your address with all government agencies - 

There are a few government agencies you will need to notify when you move. Places such as the post office or social security office are a good place to start. Other institutions you may need to notify include your pension plan or the DMV. 

2. Change your address with all healthcare services and providers - 

If you plan to stay with the same healthcare providers, all you will need to do is request to update your files with your new address. However, suppose you are moving farther away and transferring to a new doctor. In that case, you must obtain your medical records from your previous providers, such as your doctor, dentist, veterinarian, and other specialists.

3. Change your address with all personal sources and contacts - 

There are several personal sources that you will need to give your change of address to, such as your friends and family members, as well as anyone in your community you want to stay in touch with. You will also need to reach out to any clubs or organizations your children belong to so that they can still be involved with them or join up with a different chapter in their new hometown.

4. Change your address with your insurance companies - 

Your insurance providers like your health insurance, life insurance, or auto insurance companies will need to know about your change of address. You can call them and speak with an agent to make sure your information is changed on time. Or, you may also be able to update the information online if possible. If applicable, don't forget to also change your address with other insurance companies such as dental insurance providers or your employment insurance program. 

5. Change your address with Utilities and other services if applicable -

The need to update your address with your utility companies and other service providers depends on if you will still be using the same provider at your new place of residence. Suppose you are moving to a new area where you will use a different company for your electricity or your water. If that is the case, you will need to let your current providers know the exact dates you want your utilities shut off at your old residence. You will also need to let your new providers know when you want your services turned on at your new home. 


6. Change your address with your financial services - 

With your financial services, along with updating your address, you may also want to consider transferring to a new branch or a different bank entirely if your current provider doesn't have a branch near your new place of residence. For other financial services, such as loan providers and credit card companies, most will allow you to change your address and other personal details online. Be sure to notify all of your credit card issuers of your new address. 


7. Change your address with online services - 

You will also need to update your online profiles and accounts with your various online services. It may be the most accessible category since you can make all these changes online without needing to fill out and drop off any paper forms. If you do a lot of online shopping, you likely have your current address saved on your accounts with your favorite online retailers as well.
