Getting ready to move doesn’t just mean cleaning and packing. You also need to think about all the people and places to notify of your move. The good news is, almost all of these changes can be done over the internet through the providers website.
To help you out, we’ve put together a change of address moving checklist, broken down by category with all the ways you need to change your address. It may look overwhelming, but if you tackle one category per day, it’ll be over and done with before you know it!
