So, you plan to change your address!

Home is where the heart is. But when your heart decides to find a new pad, everything else has to follow: your furniture, your valuables - oh, and your mail, too. Most of these items can be tossed carelessly into a moving van... but how do you make sure you keep getting your important (and unimportant) mail?

As much as you'd love to dodge those bills, there are certain things you still want to receive (e.g., paychecks, magazine subscriptions, Publisher's Clearing House notifications). Besides, you've got an obligation as a member of society to let friends, family, and pertinent government agencies know your current whereabouts. But don't worry. Changing your address isn't all that complicated - and we promise it won't involve any heavy lifting.

Pick up a change-of-address form from the post office. 

The Official Change of Address Form. You can also find this form online, and save that trip to the post office!

Address Notification cards, a fancy name for postcards that you can use to inform businesses and friends directly of your address change.

Contact everybody you know

This is the most important step of the process - even more important than the Change of Address Form. This is the part where you get people to change your address in their little address books by sending them those Address Notification postcards we talked about earlier.

During the temporary window in which the forwarding service is active, it's your job to inform everyone who sends you mail that you've moved. We've taken the liberty of providing a general checklist of important people and businesses to get you started:

bullet The IRS (You can get a form online; just print out Form 8822, fill it out, and send it in)
bullet Telephone company
bullet Utilities (electric company, water, etc.)
bullet Credit card companies
bullet Insurance companies
bullet Bank
bullet Magazine and newspaper subscriptions
bullet Voter registration
bullet Cable company
bullet DMV
bullet Schools/universities
bullet Employer
bullet Doctor
bullet Dentist
bullet Lawyer
bullet Parole officer
bullet Friends
bullet Family

Many bill statements and subscription forms have a "Moving? Fill in new address here" space right on the form, which makes your job a little easier. 

Remember, once forwarding stops, your mail will either be marked "Return to Sender" or end up in the hands of whoever just moved into your old place. This is the only way to tell everyone you know to stop living in the past.
