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!!
