Change of Address Checklist

When moving, send a change of address information card to all that apply from the list below. If you know the date you will be moving - send the cards in advance with your moving date and the date they can start sending things to the new address. This will eliminate much of the hassle of forwarding mail - and the chance you might not ever get it. To make it easier on you - have pre-printed cards made (you can do it on your computer) that you can just slip in with your payments or into an envelope. This way nobody can misread your writing and input the wrong information.
