Change of address checklist

Who to tell when you move: USPS, the IRS, your DMV, banks, insurers, your employer and more.

The checklist

  • USPS mail forwarding

    File at usps.com/move; set the start date to move day.

  • IRS & state tax

    File IRS Form 8822; update your state department of revenue.

  • DMV / driver license & registration

    Most states require an update within 10-30 days of moving.

  • Voter registration

    Re-register in your new county to keep your ballot active.

  • Banks & credit cards

    Update statements, fraud alerts, and card mailing address.

  • Employer & payroll

    Update HR for W-2 delivery and state tax withholding.

  • Insurance

    Auto, health, renters/homeowners — premiums change by ZIP.

  • Subscriptions & deliveries

    Amazon, meal kits, pharmacies, streaming billing address.

How it works

  1. File USPS mail forwarding

    Set the start date to your moving day.

  2. Work through the list

    Government first, then banks and insurers, then subscriptions.
