It’s finally time to move! Congratulations, moving can be a very exciting time. But with all of the change comes one big task: updating your address. It might seem daunting, but don’t worry, we’re here to help. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about changing your address after your move. From filling out USPS forms to notifying creditors and other important contacts, we’ve got you covered. So sit back, relax, and get ready to start your new life in your new home!
Start with a Change of Address at the U.S. Post Office
First and foremost, you’ll want to change your address with the United States Postal Service (USPS). The easiest way to do this is online. The online form allows you to change your address for up to one year and file a change of address order with the post office. There is a nominal processing fee for the service, so have your credit card handy!
Notify Important Contacts and Creditors
Once your change of address is filled out and submitted, it’s important to notify any and all contacts that may need to change their records with your new address. This includes banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, doctors’ offices, schools, employers and more. You’ll want to contact them as soon as possible, so it’s best to make a list and start calling or writing letters.
Don’t Forget Your Driver’s License!
It’s also important to change your address with any relevant government offices such as the DMV, Social Security Administration, IRS and local tax offices. You’ll need to change your address for registered voters, driver’s license, tax filing and other records. All of this can be done online or in person at your local BMV or IRS office.
Finally, don’t forget to change your address on all of your social media accounts and websites where you may have signed up with your old address. This will help ensure that you are notified of any specials, discounts or promotions that the companies might have in store for you!
