  1. Complete "Change of Addresss" checklist
  2. Consider switching as many accounts as possible to electronic statments
    Instead of updating your mailing address each time you buy a property, you may want to consider updating as many of your accounts as possible to electronic statements to avoid having to update them each time you move.

  3. Consider getting a PO Box or private mailbox
    To avoid constantly updating your address as you move each year with Nomad, you may want to consider getting a post office box or private mailbox from a company like the UPS Store.

    Then, have all your mail always go to that mailbox to avoid having to update them with each purchase/move.

  4. Get new mailbox key from United States Post Office
    After Closing you should go down to your local post office and get a new key for your mailbox (if your mailbox has a lock). You can do this at the same time you set up mail forwarding.

    You will usually need to bring down a copy of your deed (which you'll receive at closing) to do this.

  5. Forward all mail at United States Post Office
    After Closing you should go down to your local post office and set up forwarding of your mail to your new property address. You can do this at the same time you get your new mailbox key.

    You will usually need to bring down a copy of your deed (which you'll receive at closing) to do this.

    There will probably be a small fee to do this. I've heard $1.

  8. Update address with all Utilities
    We normally recommend that you put the Utilities in your name on the property you're buying prior to Closing to start the day of Closing. This however should remind you in case you forgot to do that AND, additionally, remind you to update your address with Utilities for properties other than the one you're buying now.

    Update your address with all Utilities on the property you're buying and any rental properties you own as well.

    Here is a list to help:

    • Gas
    • Water (including any water associations if applicable)
    • Trash
    • Electric
    • Garbage
    • Cable television
    • Internet service provider

    NOTE: If you have Tenants or Tenant-Buyers in the property ask to get a Landlord policy for utilities so that your utilities will automatic switch into your name when the Tenant or Tenant-Buyer stops paying or removes them from their name.

  12. Update address with your employer
    Contact each of your employers and update your address with each one of them.

    In many cases contacting Human Resources will update everything, but in some cases you may need to contact multiple departments. If you have to contact different departments, be sure to do that. Some examples of different departments might include:

    • Your retirement accounts with your employer
    • your health care account with your employer
    • payroll with your employer
