What do I need to change when moving to another state?|160012

Hello
I am planning on moving to Naples Florida later in 2009. I currently live in Indiana and was wondering what do I have to change when I get there. I figured my license, insurance, plates. I know I am forgetting a lot of thing. What else?

Driver_s license, plates, and insurance have to be done. But you_ll want to get the change of address card at the post office (where they usually have coupons on moving stuff). You_ll want to change the address for all your mail (credit cards, magazines, etc.)

You will need to prearrange with your current utilities a shut off date and your new utilities a turn on date. Plus if you currently lease an apartment, check the lease for the time requirements to notify your landlord of the move in case it states it automatically renews without notice. Also check online for a new place.

You most likely will be able to keep your cell phone company and number. I know lots of people, myself included, whose cell phone numbers don_t match the state they_re in (and since a lot of people don_t pay for long distance calls, it_s really a non-issue). If you bank with a large bank that has branches where you are and at the new place, no need to change banks. Otherwise, with direct deposit, you may not even need to change banks, if you like your current bank.

You will need to fill out a change of address at the post office. Also, notify your credit card companies of your change of address. Notify the phone and utility companies when to stop service...also cable and internet services. Got to your doctor and dentist offices and sign a permission slip so that when you get a new doctor and dentist after moving, the new docs can send for copies of your records. You will need to close or transfer your bank accounts. Need to change your cell phone service too.
