It's a relief that
moving day
has come and gone, but it doesn't mean all of your work is done. Thankfully, the next part of the job is much more enjoyable -- getting settled in. Here are some tips of things to get taken care of.
Locate your local post office, police station, fire station and hospitals as well as gas stations near your home.
Become familiar with your neighborhood shopping areas. You may need housewares, tools or other items for your new home.
Call the department of sanitation in your new home to find out what day the trash is collected and what type of recycling programs are available in your community.
Get new service providers such as a bank, pharmacist, cleaner, cable television, etc., if you have not already done so.
Contact your local DMV if you have moved to a different state to exchange your driver's license and register your vehicle.
Provide your new doctor and dentist with your medical history.
Transfer insurance policies to your new agent. You may also wish to make a detailed list of your belongings, their value, and your coverage.
Get information on schools, libraries, community activities and emergency calling service from your local Chamber of Commerce.
Obtain local library cards.
Register to vote in your new city.
Decide which documents must be kept and determine for how long. File and keep them in a safe place.
