Moving Checklist

Moving can be an incredibly stressful process, but with the use of this checklist you can minimize the unexpected problems that people commonly face.

Sort Items Into Two Categories. What To Keep, and What To Trash Before The Move.
Start to use up all food in the freezer.
Donate Gently Used Items That You Won't Be Keeping, or Throw A Moving Sale
Hire A Moving Company For The Big Day - And Make Sure They Are Licensed! (Our License Number is ILL C.C. 216214 M.C.)

If schools or doctors will be changed after the move, obtain copies of medical and school records.
Check With Your Insurance Company To See If The Move Will Require Any Policy Changes

Make a note of any precious items that require special care to move.
Backup your computer to a cloud storage system, or to an external hard drive you can easily carry with you.
Make Sure You Have A Pet Sitter For The Day Of The Move, Or That Pets Can Be Safely Kenneled On The Day Of The Move
Contact Utility Companies To Have Services Disconnected The Day After The Move, With New Services Starting The Day Prior At The New Home
