Change my address and set up utilities when I move
A complete list of who to notify and what to set up or cancel, with dates and a tracking sheet.
The prompt
Help me handle all the address changes and utilities for my move.
Moving from and to: [CITY/STATE or COUNTRY for each]
Move-out and move-in dates: [DATES]
Renting or buying: [at the old and new place]
Current services: [electricity, gas, water, trash, internet, streaming, phone, home security, gym, subscriptions]
Accounts and people to update: [e.g. "bank, employer, two credit cards, kids' school, vet, car registration"]
Give me:
1. A utilities plan: what to cancel or transfer at the old place and what to set up at the new one, with when to call (usually 2-3 weeks before) and service start and stop dates that overlap by a day so I'm never without power or water. Note that renters should ask the landlord which utilities they handle.
2. A complete address-change checklist grouped by: government (postal mail forwarding, driver's license, vehicle registration, voter registration, tax agency), money (bank, cards, loans, insurance, retirement accounts), work and school, health (doctors, pharmacy, insurance), and everything else.
3. Which changes have legal deadlines in my new location (e.g. driver's license transfer) - tell me to confirm on official government websites rather than relying on you.
4. A tracking table: Organization | Old/New | Action | Deadline | Done | Confirmation number.
5. Tips to avoid scams: only update addresses through official websites or numbers on your statements, and watch for fake "change of address" sites that charge fees.
