Moving home, what to do?

June 1st, 2005 by Phil

I’m moving house and job in the next few weeks (although I don’t actually have a job to go to yet), and so I will need to tell lots of different people about my change in contact details. Herewith, a short list, both for my own reference and in the vain hope that someone will tell me what I’ve missed :)

  • Bank
  • Credit card company
  • Mobile phone company
  • Address on my CV/job websites
  • Specsavers
  • Electricity supplier
  • Water supplier
  • Telephone provider
  • Internet provider
  • TV Licensing people
  • Council Tax people
  • National Insurance
  • Student Loans Agency
  • Electoral Register
  • Mailing lists I’m signed up to at work

Hmm, what else?

  3. My approach when moving has always been to redirect my mail. Then anything I’ve moved has always come with a redirection sticker on.

    Once you’ve set it up, you can renew it over the internet if you still haven’t got round to changing stuff…

  4. I could do the mail forwarding thing, but I just don’t trust the post office to forward all the mail intended for the subsequent tenants to come to me instead :)

  5. Not used this site but could be useful?

    I also recommend the mail redirect.

    Magazine subscriptions
    University alumni organistation? – mine send me a magazine
    DVLA – both license and car registration.
