I always forget something when I am planning a trip, a party or a move... I find that check lists are the way to go if you want to make sure all your bases are covered.   So are you about to change addresses ...here are a few things that need to be considered.  

 

Send Change of Address To:

 

Post Office:  give forwarding address.

 

Charge accounts, credit cards.

 

Subscriptions:  requires several weeks notice.

 

Friends and relatives.

 

Bank:  transfer funds, arrange check-cashing in new city.

 

Insurance:  Notify new location for coverage:  Life, health, fire, auto.

 

Automobile registrations: transfer of car title registration if necessary; also driver's license; city windshield sticker; motor club membership.

 

Utility Companies:  gas, light, water, telephone, perhaps fuel; get refund of any deposits made; arrange in new town for immediate service.

 

Route men: laundry, paper boy, milk man; changeover services.

 

School records: ask for copies or transfer of children's records.

 

Medical, dental, prescription histories: ask doctor and dentist for referrals; transfer needed prescriptions; eyeglasses, x-rays.

 

Church, club, civic organizations:  transfer memberships; get letter of introduction.

 

Pets:  ask about any regulations for licenses, vaccinations, tags, etc.
