Moving can be stressful enough, but it shouldn’t be difficult. Before you can settle in and make your place a home, there are a few things you should do — even in South Africa — upon changing your address.
There are plenty of tasks and changes you'll have to go through when moving, but these top five will have you sorted in no time.
It’s important to notify your bank as soon as you move and provide them with your updated address. This is so that any upcoming payments you may have can be processed without disruption. It’s also important for your cards, credentials and bills to be addressed to the right place.
Regardless of whether your mail is directed to a PO Box or your home address, it is important to notify the South African Post Office of your new address. It’s also a great idea to redirect any mail that you may already have sent in the mail, in case you miss any post-move mail.
When you move, it’s important to update your car license details with the South African Government. You can often do this online, which makes the process much easier than before. You can also update your driver’s license details with theroadsafety.org.
As part of the change of address process, you must also notify your electricity and water suppliers of your new address. This is to ensure a reliable and consistent service, as well as to help the suppliers plan for future load factors. South African citizens can set this up quite easily through their respective local municipality or relevant supplier.
When changing your address, it’s important to remember to register for a new TV license. This can be easily done online via the TV License website, with your new address information and payment details.
That’s it! Once you’ve finished the process of changing your address, it is time to move!
