Change of Address Checklist

Update everyone who needs to know.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Create a change-of-address checklist. Country and type of move: [COUNTRY_MOVE]. Accounts and organisations: [ORGANISATIONS].

List organisations to notify by category: government and tax, banks, insurance, utilities, employers, schools, health providers, subscriptions, and delivery services. Include timing (before, on, after the move), the method, and a tracking table. Mark official steps and deadlines [VERIFY] with the relevant authorities for [JURISDICTION]. Add a mail forwarding plan, a way to catch missed notifications over three months, and privacy advice to avoid sharing the new address with unneeded parties.

Add a three-column tracking table with the organisation, the date I notified them, and confirmation received, plus a list of which organisations need proof of the new address. Include a reminder to update a bank first where relevant, and a guard against scams that ask for fees to forward mail, which should be checked with the official postal service.

Finish with a short list of the five notifications that cannot wait, such as the bank, the employer and the tax authority, and a reminder to check again after three months for any organisation that still holds the old address.
