Moving Long Distance?
You’ve chosen a new city and it’s good to know a bit about it before you arrive! Spend some time exploring the new city before you choose a place to live. Popping into local restaurants, visiting some of the town’s amenities and going on a walk will help you see the area you are choosing to move to.
Another great idea is to research some of the neighborhoods in the new city – consider your lifestyle, how far you are willing to commute, what activities your kids will want to participate in, and what type of neighborhood you’d like to live in, etc. Buying a new home can be a complicated process!

- Change Your Address: Forward your mail by filing out an online mail forwarding form with USPS. This will prevent lost letters or documents.
- Update Your Driver’s License: One of the first things to do when you move is to update your driver’s license and vehicle registration. Find out whether your MVD takes appointments or walk-ins and which documents you’ll need to bring with you.
- Register to Vote: You’ll need to register to vote in your new state.
- Find a new doctor: Check your insurance company for information on which healthcare providers in your new area accept your insurance. Before you leave your old home, get copies of your medical records and any prescriptions.
