TV Licence — Updating Your Address When Moving House
Updating your TV licence when moving house is free and takes about 5 minutes at tvlicensing.co.uk.
Your licence moves with you — you do not need to buy a new one.
The important thing is to update your address before you leave your old property, not after settling into the new one.
If you are leaving a property where the TV licence was in your name and someone else is moving in who watches live TV, they will need their own licence.
If your new address is in a property that already has a valid licence (for example, a furnished rental), you may be covered under that.
Check with TV Licensing directly rather than assuming.
The penalty for unlicensed viewing while live TV is in use is a fine of up to £1,000.
Who to Inform When Moving House — Priority Notifications
When deciding who to inform when moving house, it helps to split notifications into three priority tiers.
Immediate: HMRC (tax and national insurance records), DVLA (driving licence address — legal requirement within 2 months), your bank and building society, and the electoral register.
Within the first week: GP and dentist, utilities (gas, electricity, water), broadband provider, and your employer.
Within the first month: insurance providers (home, car, pet, life), subscriptions (Amazon, streaming services, magazine deliveries), the DVLA for vehicle registration documents, and any direct debit creditors.
Royal Mail redirection costs around £39 for 3 months and catches anything you miss — a worthwhile safety net during the first three months in a new address.

Updating Your Address After Moving House
The post-move address update list is almost as long as the pre-move notification list.
Once you are in the new property, the following require your new address as a priority.
DVLA: update your driving licence address at gov.uk/change-address-driving-licence within two months of moving.
Failure to do so is a £1,000 fine.
Update your vehicle registration document (V5C) within 28 days at gov.uk/change-address-v5c.
These are two separate processes.
HMRC: update your address through the government gateway or by calling 0300 200 3300.
This affects income tax, national insurance, and any child benefit or tax credits you receive.
The electoral register: register at your new address through your local council website.
This is separate from driving licence and HMRC updates.
Your GP: re-register at a local practice if you have moved out of the catchment area.
Most online registration systems allow you to check catchment boundaries before registering.
NHS records including dentist and optician need separate updates.
Pension providers, ISA providers, and investment platforms all hold addresses separately from your bank account.
Check each one in the month after moving.

Who to Notify When Moving House — FAQs
Where can I get boxes for moving for free?
Free boxes for moving are widely available from supermarkets (banana and wine boxes are sturdy), off-licences, bookshops, and Freecycle or Facebook Marketplace listings. Ask at the service desk rather than looking on the shop floor — staff usually have a dedicated area for box recycling. Lidl and Aldi tend to have the most consistent supply of double-walled boxes. The key is to start asking 2-3 weeks before your move date.
How do I move to the US from the UK?
Moving to the US from the UK requires a visa (Green Card, employment visa, or family-based visa), shipping your belongings via an international freight company, and arranging customs documentation. Giant Van can handle the UK end — packing, removal to a port or freight terminal, and storage if there is a gap before shipping. We do not handle the international freight leg itself, but we work regularly with international movers who do. Call +44 7414 655129 to discuss the UK portion of your relocation.
