Checklist

“There are so many details to handle as you prepare for a move that it
can seem like a daunting task. I’m presenting this checklist to help you
manage your relocation and not forget these important To-Dos.”

Moving To-Dos:

  • Confirm a moving van and make sure you have a firm bid in writing.
  • Call utility companies to cancel current services and sign up for services in your new home.
  • Cancel the phone and cable service and arrange for service in your new home.
  • Obtain referrals for doctors, dentists, and specialists if you are moving out of the area.
  • Collect medical records for family members and pets. These should be carried with you.
  • Have any necessary prescriptions filled in and carry them with you.
  • Arrange to move pets, including travel containers, immunization records, etc.
  • Transfer checking and savings accounts. Empty safe-deposit boxes, pack items, and carry contents with you.
  • Safely dispose of flammables and other hazardous materials.
  • Moisten plants prior to packing.
  • Back up your computer files on hard drives, and pack CDs in their cases.
  • Drain fuel from lawnmowers and other equipment to less than 25% and drain water hoses.
  • Have the cars inspected or serviced for the trip and have proof of insurance in the vehicles.
  • Pack a first night box: coffee, bedding, household cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, pet food, and other essentials that you will need upon arrival.
  • Conduct a last-minute walk through. Check drawers, closets, basements and the garage.
  • Make sure all the lights are turned off and windows and doors are locked up.
