You can file a change of address with the US Postal Service (USPS), and they will forward your mail for up to a year. However, once that year is over, you’re expected to have changed your address with everyone important in your life. Your mail sent to old addresses will no longer be forwarded to your new address.
So, who do you need to change your address with so you don’t miss anything?
- Magazines and newspapers
- Your company’s human resources department
- Insurance providers (e.g. auto insurance)
- Family doctor, dentist, veterinarian, and other physicians
- Online stores (Amazon.com)
- Mobile phone service providers
- Bank and credit card companies
- Your university or college
- Placement agencies
For
most of these, you can simply change your address online. However, for others, like doctors’ offices, you might need to call or fill out a form.
