Moving Checklist: Change of Address, Part 2

Moving Checklist: In the last post I discussed specific people and organizations you might want to contact for your change of address. But what if you want to change your address for everyone?

The easiest answer, if you're willing to spend $1, is to file online with the U.S. Post Office at http://www.moversguide.com/ or call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777) (both have a $1 fee), or go to the local Post Office and complete form PS 3575.

While you're at it, you might want to contact the Direct Marketing Association (http://www.DMAChoice.org) to stop getting junk mail you don't want to receive. And of course, don't forget to put your new phone number on the Do Not Call Registry with this link (http://www.DoNotCall.gov).

By following this strategy, you can continue to be in communication with the people you do want, and stop getting communication from everybody else. :-)
