Preparing for moving day can be a tedious process, and sometimes the stress makes you forget some minor details. Moving is more than just hiring a mover. One of the things you missed unintentionally is letting people know you are relocating. If you want to know who you will inform first and easy ways to let them know, read along --
Aside from your friends, family, and neighbors, you need to notify the following:
Personal
- Magazine subscriptions, if any
- Professional and interest groups
- Schools/colleges/universities
Companies/Organization
- Your employer
- Your bank
- Insurance companies
- Credit card company
- Pension company
- Local council tax department
Utilities
- Gas provider
- Electricity provider
- Phone and internet providers
- Mobile phone provider
- TV/satellite/cable company
Health
- Your family's doctor
- Dentist
- Your pet's vet
- Other healthcare providers - physiotherapists, optician, midwife, etc.
They all require your address and new contact information when you move. For service providers, you will need to update your personal information. This can be done via email, phone, or online.
Social networking sites are an informal and a convenient way to let people of your move. Make sure to send your close friends your new address so they will know where to find you. It's always good to stay in touch with them and they may even suggest helpers, real estate agent to help you sell your home, or recommend a reputable moving company. Nothing beats word-of-mouth referrals!
