Once you've finally made the decision to move to Las Vegas, life may be going by in a blur as you're completing relocation tasks. Such tasks may include booking our Nevada movers to help you settle into your new home, catching up on any final payments on the new home, scheduling the installation of new home services, and so on. Yet, in the flurry of excitement, you might forget about changing your address with various places. Not doing so can lead to a delay in delivery and home services. The Las Vegas movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage can discuss which important places to notify of your move to Las Vegas.
It's a no-brainer that your local post office is one of the most important places to notify of your move to Las Vegas. Failure to do so can lead to a delay in mail and package delivery. About a week or two before your moving day, head to the post office to fill out a “change of address” form or go online to the United States Postal Service website to fill it out. [1] Once received by USPS, you'll have mail forwarded to the new address for up to 12 months, giving you ample time to change your address with other places of importance.
This only applies to you if you receive letters or benefits from the Social Security Administration. Notify the SSA of your move to Las Vegas by either calling them at (800)772-1213 or go online to change your address through your “my Social Security” account.
Utility companies are also important places to notify of your move to Las Vegas. You don't want to arrive to your new home with no gas, water, or electricity, therefore, contact the appropriate utility companies about two weeks before your moving day. First, schedule a service cancellation for the old address to avoid additional charges after your move. Then, schedule a service activation for the new address to confirm you'll have utilities active once you arrive.
Sure, you most likely receive your paychecks via direct deposit, but you still need to notify your employer of your move to Las Vegas. Your place of work needs an updated address to send tax forms, pay stubs, and other important documents.
Most importantly, you can't forget about friends and family. Let them know of your upcoming move to Las Vegas so they can enter the correct address into Google Maps or Waze when they're on their way to see the new home. The new address will also allow them to send gifts and other important items to the correct residence.
