Moving Day Checklist

Whether you're moving in or moving out, there's no doubt that moving itself can be a complex process. But a good checklist can make moving day much easier, so here are 10 questions to ask before the big day arrives.

1. Have you filled and transferred all prescriptions? Do you have sufficient supplies until you get to your new residence?

2. If you have a pet, have you obtained a copy of all vaccination and other records?

3. Have you contacted all utility companies to change billing information?

4. Are you throwing out old batteries, paint or gasoline. These and similar items must be disposed of properly.

5. Moving with young children? Make sure to have favorite toys and games available.

6. Review the contents of your safety-deposit box and home safe. What's the best way to move your valuables?

7. Have you backed up your computer? Do you have several back-up copies in different places?

8. Is your address book handy? Make certain it's available during the moving process.

9. Driving to your new home? Have your vehicles serviced before you move.

10. Need new address forms? The Postal Service has packets so that mail can be automatically forwarded to your new address.
