What to do after the Move

Notify the sender of any mail forwarded to you of your new address. This is only necessary if there is a yellow address label on it which indicates it has been forwarded.

Register to vote so that when election time rolls around, you will be eligible.

Get a change of address on your driver’s license if you have moved within the state and make application for one if you have moved out of state.

Make contact with a local insurance agent to transfer policies.

Complete a Household Inventory of your new home.

Find out when the trash and garbage is picked up and whether there is a re-cycling program available.

After locating a new doctor and dentist, have your medical histories transferred.

Ask for recommendations of good contractors like plumbers, air-conditioning services and the like so that when you need them, you will know who you should call without being at the mercy of the yellow pages.

Locate new service providers such as banks, pharmacies, cleaners, etc.

Make a list of the emergency numbers such as fire, ambulance, police, hospital, poison control, and the like so they will be available in an emergency.

Recognize that moving can be very stressful on people and that you should be considerate of your family members and yourself!!
