When moving, it is important to inform certain individuals, companies and institutions that your address will be changing. As soon as know your new address, you can notify others by calling them or by mailing change-of-address cards, such as the ones you can get at your local Post Office.

There are several services that you will need to have disconnected or transferred when you move. In most cases it is possible to schedule the disconnection in advance; however, it is important to make sure the services are continued until you are certain you will no longer need them.

It is never too soon to start planning for a move. A timetable-checklist can, in fact, be an invaluable tool in helping to schedule what needs to be done and when.

As you plan your move, there are certain things to think about when making arrangements for transferring services or records. Keep in mind the date you want services to begin in your new home.
