Change of Address Checklist | Who to Notify When You Move

Part of moving means changing your mailing address.

Most people know that they need to fill out a change of address form with the post office, but it’s easy to forget all of the other places that need to know that you’ve moved as well.

At Apache Moving and Storage, we want to help make your move go as smoothly as possible, so here are a few tips.

First of all, be sure to complete the online change of address form to officially update your address with the United States Postal Service.

In Texas, you can update your driver’s license and vehicle registration online.

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles: Vehicle Registration change of address
Texas Department of Public Safety: Drivers License change of address

You will also need to update your voter registration. In Texas you can do that online via the Texas Office of the Secretary of State website.

Here’s a handy change of address checklist of other places to notify when you’ve moved:

Your employer
Banks
Doctor’s offices, dentists and other healthcare providers
Veterinary clinics and kennels
Credit card companies
Health, homeowner and auto insurance companies
Your child’s school or daycare center
Newspaper and magazine subscriptions
Professional organizations
Lawn and house cleaning services
