A Moving Checklist

By
Real Estate Agent with Sothbey's International Realty

If you are getting ready to move to Hoboken, be sure to change your address before you leave so you will avoid past-due bills, service lapses or even something as severe as identity theft.

Be sure to keep the following in mind before you pack your bags:

●      The Post Office. Visit the U.S. Postal Service’s online movers guide or stop by your local office to fill out a change of address card so your mail will be forwarded.

●      The IRS. Print out and mail in the IRS’ Change of Address form.

●      Credit card companies. Remember your store cards and loyalty programs!

●      Banks. You may want immediate access to your checking account on moving day, as well as update online banks information, retirement funds and investment accounts.

●      Utility Companies. Schedule shut-off at your old address for the end of moving day and arrange service at your new home.  

●      Home or Renters’ Insurance. Be sure your possessions are covered during transport, especially if you have valuables in your own vehicle.

●      Car Insurance.

●      Health Insurance.

●      Your Doctor. Have your current medical files transferred and get recommendations for new physicians.

●      Government Agencies. If you receive benefits from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or any other government program, notify them before you move.

●      Phone and Internet. Discontinue service at your old location and schedule new service.

●      Cell Phone Provider.

●      Magazine Subscriptions.

Hey guys,

Here is another tip: let your neighbor and New Occupant know where are you moving to, in case an old lost friend drops by to see you. Someone should be able to direct them to your new place. I know I am old fashioned.
