Moving is more than just getting your stuff from Washington to California. You also need to handle logistics to settle into your new home.
Here’s what to add to your to-do list for a seamless move:
Forward your mail and change your address for things like banks, credit cards, tax agencies, and insurance companies
Contact local utility companies in California to get your internet, cable, electricity, water, and gas set up
Plan for a safe transition by installing a security system, testing smoke detectors, and changing the locks on your new home
Register your car and visit the California DMV for a new driver’s license
Plan a housewarming party and start exploring your new neighborhood in California!
