One task involved with moving is finding professional services near your new home. While your long-distance movers can complete many moving-related tasks, this is one you’ll have to deal with on your own.
You’ll also have to transfer certain services, such as utilities. Here are some services to keep in mind.
- Post Office: Put in your change of address a few days before your move for the best chances of not missing any mail. If you’re unsure of the reliability of the mail delivery to your new home, consider getting a P.O. box at the post office nearest your new home.
- Local Schools: If possible, plan a trip to visit local schools ahead of the move. This is especially important if you have options as to which schools your children attend. It’s also a good idea to let your kids visit their new school before they start to help get the lay of the land prior to their first day.
- Utilities: Have your utilities turned on at your new home the day before you move in and off at your former home the day after you move out. This ensures you won’t be without service at either home.
- Banking: It’s unlikely you’ll need to find a new bank, but it is vital that you update your address to avoid any confusion.
- Medical Needs: Source new doctors, dentists, optometrists, and any other medical professionals you or your family needs.
- Pet Care: If you have pets, you’ll need to find a new vet, groomer, and, if applicable, doggy daycare or boarding.
