Hey,
I'm moving flat (yippee) and I was looking for a check list of who I should tell. I've thought of some but I bet I've missed some so any suggestions would be appreciated!
Banks
Benefits
Council
tv license
phone - orange
gas & electric
GP
Hospitals, other health services etc
dentists
friends and family
contents insurance
libraries
old uni for alumni shite they send out
mailing lists I'm on (roh)
cards like store cards
Hmm... so much to do.

Everything else is superfluous, moving is often a good chance to get rid of most of the shit that gets posted through your door.
Our work won't. All we do is change our records (personal file, comp record, occupational health and payroll systems), tell the pension company and tell the cashback health scheme provider we have.
It's your responsibility to inform the tax office.
I don't think telling the doctors is superfluous Whowhere, how would they know where to come in an emergency?!
I don't work so that's all okay, I contacted the dla people and the income support people seperately and the housing benefits department. Thanks, that's given me lots to start on. Lots down, lots more to go.
Just for info, you don't need to tell the passport people - http://www.ips.gov.uk/passport/faqs-general-changeaddress.asp. I thought that one was going to cost a fortune and turns out they're not even bothered!
