In order to make a better organization of your change of address when moving house try to make a list. Collect all documents and paperwork in one file and take it with you. If you are preparing an essentials box to travel with you your documents should go in there. When flying all paperwork must stay with you in the luggage in the cabin because in case your checked in luggage gets damaged or is gone you may have some hard time replacing the missing paperwork.
These tips should guide you:
- Check if your bank has a branch in the city you are relocating to. If so, you can just use it. If not, you may have to change your bank and open an account somewhere else. Before choosing a bank check the taxes that it applies and the interests on deposits – if you are interested. In general, research the products that local banks offer in order to pick the ones that you need.
- Collect all bank records: documents related to loans you have, credit or debit cards, mortgage payments, bill payments, etc. from your bank.
- If you have loans or credit from other institutions collect those, too.
