When moving, it is important to notify the right people and places about your change of address to avoid potential hassles like missed bills or service lapses. Here is a list of places to notify when you move:

• The U.S. Postal Service: You can change your address online at usps.com/move or by picking up a Mover’s Guide packet from the post office.
• Tax agencies: Notify the IRS and your state tax agency of your new address.
• Social Security Administration: If you receive benefits from the Social Security Administration, you should notify them of your new address.
• Department of motor vehicles: Update your drivers license and vehicle registration with your new address.
• Gas and electric companies: Notify your gas and electric companies of your new address to avoid service lapses.
• Water and sewer companies: Notify your water and sewer companies of your new address.
• Cable and internet providers: Notify your cable and internet providers of your new address.
• Phone company: Notify your phone company of your new address.
• Banks and credit card companies: Notify your banks and credit card companies of your new address.
• Insurance companies: Notify your insurance companies of your new address.
• Healthcare providers: Notify your healthcare providers of your new address.
• Online stores: Make a list of the online stores you shop at most frequently and take some time to go in and change your address with each of them.

It is important to complete an online change of address at least a week before moving day to ensure that your mail forwarding can begin on time. Additionally, in most states, you must update the DMV of an address change within 30 days of the move, even if youre moving within city limits.
