In the weeks leading up to your move to Phoenix, you're getting everything in gear for an effortless move. You may take care of errands like contacting professional movers, shopping for décor and furniture for the new home, scheduling the installation with your home security provider, just to name a few. However, what should be at the very top of the moving checklist is changing your address with different places and people. Failure to do so can lead to delays in home services and mail delivery.The Phoenix movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage list the important places to notify about your move to Phoenix.
One of the first important places to update your address is your local post office. A few weeks before our Arizona movers arrive, visit the post office to fill out a “change of address” form in person or go to the United States Postal Service website to take care of it online. This service will forward mail to the new address for up to a year, giving you more than enough time to update your address with other organizations or people.
Just like most people, you're probably receiving your paychecks via direct-deposit, so you may feel there's no need to update your address with your employer. However, your employer needs an updated address to send pay stubs and tax forms when necessary.
Next on you list of important places to notify about your move to Phoenix is the SSA. If you receive social security benefits or letters, let them know about your change of address immediately through your my Social Securityaccount [2]or call them at (800) 772-1213.
No one wants to arrive at their new home after a big move with no electricity, water, or gas running. Therefore, a few weeks before the move, get in touch with the appropriate utility companies. They are one of the most important places to notify about your move to Phoenix. First, schedule a service cancellation for the old address to prevent surcharges after you move out. Then, schedule a service activation for the new address to ensure you'll have utilities active once you've moved in.
Don't forget to update your loved ones about your change of address after moving to Phoenix. They'll need the new address to find their way to your new home with apps like Google Maps or Waze and to send gifts to the right house.
