Change of address checklist
Every place your address lives, grouped in the order to change it: mail, ID and vehicle, voting, federal records, health, school, money, home and every account.
Essential. Almost every move needs the mail, the license, the voter registration and the accounts changed, and some of those have a clock. Changing your address explains the order and the deadlines.
Address changes
One row per place your address lives. Write each deadline from the agency's own page for your state, the date you made the change and a confirmation number. Setup adds the rows that apply to your move. No account numbers or passwords on this sheet.
How to use this sheet
- One row per place your address lives. Setup seeds the common ones; add your own.
- Deadlines from the agency's own page. Write the window your state or the agency states, not a figure from this manual's examples.
- Done on, and a confirmation. A date and a confirmation number are what you need if a notice goes to the old address.
- No account numbers or passwords on this sheet.
The example rows are Jun Park's (fictional): the USCIS AR-11, due within 10 days of moving because Jun is on a work visa, and a California license as a new resident, with the deadline left to the California DMV page.
Deadlines on this sheet are what you copied from each agency; the agency's current page decides. USPS changes only the Post Office's record. This manual gives no tax, immigration or legal advice.
