Moving and Change of Address Checklist When moving there are so many people that you have to inform of your new address. You need to cancel the utilities at the old home, and schedule utilities to be turned on at the new home. You need to set up mail forwarding with the post office, and let all of your creditors (credit cards, banks, etc), know about your new address. Plus, you have to worry about packing your entire household up and transporting it from the old home to the new home. If you're moving out of state, or more than an hour from where you live currently, make sure you don't forget important things such as clothes still at the cleaners and things stored away in safety deposit boxes. When we're in a hurry, things that are out of sight, are out of mind and are the most likely to be forgotten. Here is a checklist to help you remember all of the important things that must be done before you move.
