Friends and family?
otherwise I can’t think of anyone else.
oh yes, the driving license needs to be updated with a new address.“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

Many of those on that list can be done online quick and easily if you’d of preferred. Some of those you have to do online. If you have any other memberships such as Netflix or store reward cards i.e. Tesco Clubcard they will need updating too, good luck with the move.

Good luck with your new home @Luchia
The list looks good to me, if you get much post from royal mail you can have your post redirected, that way you wont miss anything, just another idea. -
The way I work out what / who needs informing with any change is by going through my email inbox.
-
Looks like your very much organised good luck
-
Good luck with your move @Luchia.
Have you let HMRC know. or your pension provider, if you have one. -
Hi @Luchia it's almost time for your move, how exciting! As someone who has moved recently myself, I can relate to how you're feeling now, it's surprising how many things you suddenly realise you need to sort out
The only thing I can think to add, is to let your local council know so that you can vote from your new address in any elections. I think some councils might offer a 'tell us once' service which covers most things, but perhaps enquire when you talk to them about council tax.
It'll be a bit of a whirlwind these first few weeks, but you'll get it sorted outOnline Community Coordinator

It’s a council Bungalow so I assume they will update the address for voting etc on their end but I’ll ask them at appointment for the keys just to be safe, Not sure if that would cover HMRC too but I’ll double check.
Thankfully I’ve found a moving company that pack and unpack so nothing really to do for that part, a lot of furniture is been donated as I want all new stuff so that makes things a lot easier -

Passport if applicable.
Bus pass or blue badge if applicable.
Also mentioned Amazon so Ebay may be applicable. -
No changes needed for passport or BB. If you do have a BB then you can use this as normal at your new address. Just reapply for your new one before the existing one runs out.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Trying to be as prepared as possible, I’ll be honest I didn’t think we would get a Bungalow so fast but I’m very happy we did, I’ve already got a quote from a removal company and they pack everything up so that’s one huge stress avoided

I did a redirect for mail when I moved which helped me find a few things I had forgotten to change. Mostly it was junk but a few things came through I'd forgotten about

The council won't update all your records automatically as it's housing dept arrange the move. You will need to inform council tax etc
Go through a bank statement and any direct debit or subscriptions will need changing
Then go through emails and post you get
Good luck with the move.
Also leave new occupants your forwarding details in case they get any post if your not having in redirected -
