Original Title: LPT: Keep a running list of institutions and services with your address details. Update it as you go, so when it’s time to move, you’ll have a ready checklist to change your address quickly across all necessary contacts.


Here’s some general categories to get you started:

  1. Banks and financial institutions.
  2. Online retailers and shopping sites.
  3. Government bodies (Car insurance, CRA - am Canadian, post office, etc)
  4. Subscription services (magazines, streaming).
  5. Utility companies (electric, water, internet).
  6. Healthcare providers and pharmacies.

I keep my list on Google Drive for easy access and updates.

Bonus tip: Look into mail forwarding services, so you don’t miss any mail during the transition period.
