Introduction
Moving is a big undertaking. This checklist will help you remember everything.
4 weeks before
Make a decision - where to move, when. Notify the landlord or real estate agent. Research moving companies and compare prices. Start sorting unnecessary things - sell, donate, throw away. Notify the postal service of a change of address.
3 weeks before
Book a moving company or car. Start packing - start with out-of-season items, books, rarely used items. Check the boxes - space, content. Notify utility service providers (electricity, water, gas, internet) about the move.
2 weeks before
Continue packing. Notify the bank, insurance, employer, school of the new address. Change the address in different registers (ID card, driver's license, vehicle).
1 week before
Pack suitcases for the first few days (clothes, toiletries, medicines, documents, chargers). Confirm the necessary service re-registrations. Unplug and pack electronics.
Moving day
Prepare the necessary documents. Make sure the movers know what goes where. Check that all doors and windows are closed. Do a final inspection at the old location.
After the move
Check that all utilities are working. Register a new place of residence (population register). Notify family and friends of the new address. Start unpacking - systematically, room by room.
