Moving Checklist ...

For Long Distance Moves!

PLAN AHEAD BY:

__ Deciding what to move and what not to move. Possibly plan a garage sale!

__ Getting estimates from several moving companies or truck rental companies, depending on how you plan to make the move.

__ Planning your travel itinerary and making transportation and lodging reservations in advance. (Leave a copy with a friend or relative.)

__ Transferring your bank accounts. They will be happy to open your accounts by mail.

__ Contacting your local credit bureau to find out if they are on the same system your new home town subscribes to; if not, they will be able to transfer your credit file.

__ Requesting records from doctors and dentists, including eye glass prescriptions, dental x-rays and vaccinations.

__ Obtaining your children's school records to make for an easier transfer.

__ Drawing up a floor plan of where your furniture should be placed.  This will help avoid confusion for you and your movers.

__ Paying existing bills and closing out local charge accounts.

__ Recording expenses incurred during your house-hunting trips. You will also want to save your moving expense receipts (if the move is employment-related) for tax deductions.
