Moving can be a pain in the neck. Sorting through all your stuff to decide what’s worth taking and what should be tossed can chew up a lot of time. But it can also unearth some gems you thought you’d lost or totally forgotten you had!
The physical job of moving – packing, shifting and unpacking a load of boxes, not to mention dismantling and reconstructing furniture – can be a big production.
And once it’s done, there’s still the job of letting people know your new address. Family and friends can be taken care of with a single group email. But then there are the companies we deal with like banks, phone and internet providers.
The one that’s often forgotten is Roads and Maritime Services (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority), simply because the car rego and licence renewals don’t come every month like phone bills and bank statements (thank goodness!)
But it’s really important you let Roads and Maritime Services (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) know your new address, so when your rego and licence renewals do come up, they’re sent to the right address. Plus, you’ll need your new address on your licence to sign up to the local video rental place!
Change your address online
You don’t need to get yourself to a motor registry to change your address – you can do it online in a matter of minutes. Simply go to online services, click on Change address now and follow the instructions. You’ll need to have your driver licence handy.
Roads and Maritime Services (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) will send some address labels to you in the post to stick on your licence and rego papers. That’s all there is to it!
