Use the free tool — Moving Day Planner
Why you need a full list
More than 20 places need your new address when you move. Miss one and you get lost mail, a lapsed policy, or a bill you never see. Grouping the list by type keeps anything from hiding.
Government addresses
- USPS mail forwarding — file about two weeks before your move. First-class mail forwards for 12 months. USPS change of address.
- Driver's license — many states give you about 30 days after moving to update it. Check your new state's own deadline. State DMVs.
- Voter registration
- IRS — so tax notices actually reach you
Money addresses
- Banks and credit unions
- Credit cards
- Auto insurance — update this before you drive in the new state, not after
Health addresses
- Doctors and dentists
- Pharmacy — arrange the prescription transfer ahead of time
Life addresses
- School — request records and immunization copies before you leave. Most new districts need proof of address plus these records to enroll
- Employer HR
- Subscriptions
- Pet microchip registry
What to do next
This is general information, not legal, medical, or tax advice. It can be wrong. Confirm deadlines directly with USPS, your state DMV, and each provider on your list. The free Moving Day Planner tool reads your own move date and situation and builds the address list and timeline around it, week by week — nothing you type is stored.
Moving Day Planner offers general planning guidance; it can be wrong. Verify deadlines with your state and providers. Nothing you type is stored.
