Quick answers
What is a change of address checklist?
A change of address checklist is the list of people, agencies, and accounts that still hold your old address after a move — banks, credit cards, utilities, insurers, subscriptions, the DMV, voter registration, the IRS, employers, and more. Mail forwarding alone does not update those records.
Is notifying everyone the same as a USPS change of address?
No. A USPS change of address is a mail-forwarding order for about a year. It does not update your bank, cards, utilities, insurance, or subscriptions. Use forwarding as a bridge, and use this checklist for the accounts themselves.
How do I finish this checklist faster?
Movepost turns the same list into a queue: you pick the accounts, sign in yourself, and it fills your new address on each site. The printable checklist and the 157 free guides stay free either way.
