How do I update my driver's licence and registration when I change address?

Each state has their own Driver's Licence & Registration departments. We've compiled a list in our Government Services section, so you can just click on the state you need.

Do I need to change address individually for all government departments?

Unfortunately, yes. Government departments can feel like very different entities and unfortunately there's no single place to update your address for all of them at once. Use your handy list to give you some ideas of departments you'll need to contact.

Who do I need to inform when I move house?

It really depends how much physical mail you still get! You can keep track of letters you've received, but some of them you may only get once a year! You can use our helpful list of services to create your own checklist of who to inform. You don't want to miss out on those important bills, new credit cards or wedding invitations!

When do I need to let people know about my change of address?

Probably best to start once you're settled into your new house. You can use the Australia Post mail redirect service to send your mail to your new address in the meantime, before you've had a chance to update everyone and everywhere.

Updating your address when you move

Who do you need to tell when you move?

You've got enough on your mind already when planning your move, so we've assembled a helpful list of links and places so you can create your checklist and not forget anyone important!

Don't miss that important bill, new credit card or wedding invitation!

Unfortunately there's no central location or website, even for government services, to change your address. You'll need to contact multiple providers and departments to get it all done - sometimes online, sometimes via email.

Don't forget to start with an Australia Post mail redirect, which can help buy you some time until you've had a chance to update everyone on your list!
