Once you know your new address, you can start notifying people right away. Once the move is actually done, you really should. Here is a practical rundown of where to start. This is part 1, so we will cover more ground in the next post.
The United States Postal Service – USPS.com
USPS lets you handle this entirely online. You can submit an address change request through their website, and they also offer Premium Forwarding Services so mail from senders who do not yet have your new address still reaches you.
If you would rather do it in person, visit your local post office and pick up their free Mover’s Guide, which includes PS Form 3575.
Still have questions? The USPS Change of Address FAQs cover the common ones.
Drivers License and Vehicle Registration (Florida)
Florida gives you 30 days after moving to update your driver’s license. The quickest way is through the DMV’s Virtual Office online. You can also go into a local DMV office if you prefer. The FLHSMV website (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles) has the full details on name and address changes.
IRS
The IRS needs your current address on file. Unlike the other agencies above, this one has to be done in writing, either by letter or by submitting Form 8822 and, if applicable, Form 8822-B for businesses. Depending on timing, you may also be able to update your address when you file your next tax return. The IRS website walks you through the options.
