Countless studies have found that moving home is among life's most stressful events. Quite simply, it's a hassle!
Of course, lists and apps can help you stay organized and on top of the various moving tasks ahead of the big day. One thing it's crucial to place at the top of those to-do's is updating your address.
Your address is part of your identity, so it's essential to let all the relevant parties know when you change your residence. That includes your bank, employer, doctor, veterinarian's office, insurance provider, vehicle registration, and Uncle Sam, who needs to know your current address as part of your voter registration information.
However, even with that exhaustive list, some places might not occur to you when considering an address change, such as your phone or browser's autofill and your favorite online shopping sites.
But don't fret. Thanks to technology, you can easily update much of your information, even from the comfort of home.
Watch this video for different ways and places to update your address online if you're moving.
The United States Postal Service's (USPS) website has a form on which you can update your address wherever you are.
It includes mail forwarding to ensure you don't miss anything during the transition period. This can be established up to 3 months before your moving date or, in case you forgot to do it, 30 days afterward.
The post office forwards mail for a year, but you can pay to extend it for an additional 6, 12 or 18 months.
USPS's mover's guide also lets you update your voter registration simultaneously - just make sure you tick the box at the top of the page.
