Frequently asked questions
▸How far ahead should I file a change of address?
Postal redirects are typically filed about two weeks before the move; banks, insurers and government agencies are best notified the week you move with your new address effective from moving day.
▸Who commonly gets missed?
The recurring ones: subscriptions, online retailers with saved addresses, professional licenses, the vet, the dentist, and employer payroll. The checklist pre-loads the standard list so nothing relies on memory.
▸Does this file the change for me?
No — nothing is uploaded anywhere. It tracks what you've done and what's left, with notes per item (account numbers, confirmation refs), and prints the list for the paperwork folder.
