How to change your address after moving

1. Submit mail forwarding through USPS

Go directly to the official USPS Movers Guide or visit a Post Office. USPS describes separate online and in-person processes and may require identity verification. A paid third-party website is not necessary.

Choose the move type and forwarding start date that fit the household. Save the USPS confirmation privately so you can manage the request later.

1. Confirm the web address is moversguide.usps.com or usps.com.
2. Choose individual, family, or business forwarding accurately.
3. Enter personal details only in the official USPS process.
4. Keep confirmation information out of this public checklist and analytics.

2. Update Florida identity and civic records

Mail forwarding does not change a Florida driver license, state identification card, vehicle record, or voter registration. Review each agency's current instructions and eligibility requirements on its official website.

1. Review Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles address-change instructions.
2. Update the applicable driver, identification, vehicle, and title records through an authorized channel.
3. Review and update voter information through RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov.
4. Keep receipts and confirmations privately.

3. Update money, insurance, and work

Change the address directly with organizations that send statements, replacement cards, tax documents, claim information, or other sensitive mail. Use a saved bookmark, official app, statement, or verified phone number—not a link in an unexpected message.

1. Banks, credit unions, credit cards, loans, investment accounts, and payment services.
2. Home, renters, auto, health, life, and other insurers.
3. Employer payroll, benefits, and retirement administrators.
4. Tax, benefits, licensing, or professional agencies that actually hold your address.

4. Update health, education, and household records

Finish the records that do not always forward cleanly or that affect service at the new home. Update only accounts that apply to the household.

1. Health providers, pharmacy, health plan, school, or childcare records.
2. Electric, water, internet, mobile phone, trash, and property accounts.
3. Shopping profiles, recurring shipments, subscriptions, and membership organizations.
4. Veterinarian, pet license, and microchip contact records.
5. Friends, family, and emergency contacts who need the new mailing information.

5. Check old and new addresses for mistakes

Look for saved shipping addresses, autopay statements, returned mail, and service records still tied to the old home. Remove an old default address only after current orders, returns, and account access are settled.

Do not place an exact street address, account number, identity document, or private confirmation in MoveIn analytics. The checklist below stores completion status only in this browser.

Renter and homeowner follow-up

Renters may also need to update the landlord or property manager, renters insurance, parking registration, pet records, and building access systems. Use the lease and written property instructions to decide what applies.

Homeowners may need to update homeowners insurance, the mortgage servicer, an HOA, and the property-tax mailing address. Review homestead-exemption eligibility only through the official Florida and county property-appraiser resources; not every household or property qualifies.

Avoid change-of-address scams and duplicate fees

Advertisements and lookalike forms can appear official. Start from the government agency's known domain, read the destination before entering information, and do not send identity or payment details through an unverified moving-service link.
