Prepare before calling

What documents may be needed to start utilities?

Requirements vary, but providers commonly ask for the service address, start date, identification, lease or closing evidence, prior-account details, and a payment method. Gather them privately and submit them only through the confirmed provider.

Common information

The provider decides what is required for identity, occupancy, deposits, and account transfers.

  1. Complete service address and requested start date.
  2. Government-issued identification if required.
  3. Lease, closing statement, or other occupancy evidence if requested.
  4. Previous account number for a transfer.
  5. A payment method for approved charges or deposits.

Protect sensitive information

MoveIn never asks for identification documents, payment details, utility credentials, leases, closing files, or Social Security numbers. Use only the official provider website or confirmed telephone number for sensitive account steps.

Ask before submitting

Confirm why a document is needed, how it will be transmitted, and whether a less sensitive alternative is accepted. Do not email confidential files to an address you have not independently verified.
