Preparations for moving - 4 to 5 weeks prior to move

The preparations for moving that need to be made 4 to 5 weeks prior to move include making a list of people who need to be notified about your move and your new address. The list may include family and friends, the Post Office, tax authorities, utilities, banks, credit card companies, lawyers, clubs, associations, brokers, accountants, doctors, insurance agents, and publications.

Make a checklist for moving, and refer to it frequently. Keep it with you and add new items to it as and when you think of them.   

Get rid of the things you don’t need. This will help you to save on the cost of transporting them to your new home. Arrange a garage sale to sell some of the things you don’t need and donate the rest to charity. 

You can choose to do the packing yourself or let the moving company do it. Doing the packing yourself will help you to save money, and you will know where to find everything when it is time to unpack.

However, professional moving services cannot be held liable for any damage to items that they have not packed. You can also choose to do most of the packing yourself and let the movers pack fragile items that need expert handling.  

Find out about the requirements for obtaining professional licenses that you may need in your new city of residence. Get information about the requirements for auto registration and new drivers licenses in the state. Make arrangements for shifting banking accounts to the new city.

Make arrangements to have utilities functioning through moving day. Request a final reading of electricity, gas and water meters in your old home, before you leave. Give your new address to the utilities to ensure that you will receive all bills on time. Make arrangements to have utilities working in your new home when you move in.
