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.

    Bank
    Passport
    DVLA
    Work (who will inform DWP on your behalf)
    Utilities
    Phone/Sky

    Everything else is superfluous, moving is often a good chance to get rid of most of the shit that gets posted through your door.

    set up a royal mail redirection whilst you change all of your addresses so all of your mail is forwarded onto your new address. its what i plan on doing. sooo much easier.

    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.

    Thanks guys.

    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.

    This has pushed me to look out all the forms I need to change my address with various places.

    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!
