Move to-do list

When you're facing a private move, there are a number of moving tips you can put on your to-do list. As a professional moving company, Mesterflyt has handled many moves, so we know that there are a lot of practical things to take care of.

In this post, you'll find a 10-point checklist to make your move more manageable.

You must remember to report your move to the national register no later than 5 days after you move. You can do this either digitally on the website of the municipality you are moving to or at borger.dk. To report your move online, you must use MitID/NemID or digital signature. You can also report your private move together for your entire household.

The National Population Register automatically notifies all public offices when you have reported your move. However, not all offices are notified that you have changed your address. Therefore, you must remember to inform places such as:

• Utilities - electricity, water, heating, gas
• Doctor - if you keep the same one
• Various subscriptions
• Blood banks
• Phone, TV and internet provider
• Leisure activities.

An important moving tip is to put your name on your new mailbox immediately, otherwise PostNord is not obliged to deliver your mail. Also, remember to remove your name from your old mailbox so there's no confusion about where your letters are going.

If you are signed up for "Advertising - No thanks", "Advertising and free newspapers - No thanks" and/or "No thanks+", remember to sign up again after the move, as these will automatically expire after the change of address.

If you want to change your doctor after your private move, this is free of charge. However, the main rule is that you must choose a doctor within 15 km of your new address. As with the civil registration address, you must change your doctor online to the municipality you are moving to or via borger.dk. Here you can also get an overview of which doctors are open for appointments.

When you move, you need to read your electricity, gas, water and heating bills and report your move to the utility companies. In addition, you must also read your consumption and report your new address to the utility companies, who must have your figures within 5 days of your move. However, some companies require it no later than 3 days after moving.

If you move to a rented home, you can apply for housing benefit. You can find the application form at borger.dk, where you can also read more about the rules for the subsidy.

You may need to make changes to your home insurance for a private move. In addition, not all insurance policies cover all types of homes. For example, if your new house has a thatched roof, there may be changes to your insurance. Remember to contact your insurance company and ask about any changes.

There are several things you need to be aware of when moving abroad. From visas, residence and work permits, rules for bringing pets, vaccination requirements, educational opportunities for your children, banking information, etc.

If you are moving abroad for more than 6 months, you must also report your departure to the National Population Register. This can be done online on the municipality's website, at borger.dk or by contacting the municipality's Citizen Service.
