What this sheet is for
Work through everybody who holds your address, and track the gap between telling them and them acting on it.
Who it is for
Anyone moving house, students changing term addresses, and executors dealing with someone's affairs.
How to use it
- Do the money and official list first — those have deadlines attached.
- Record how you told them, in case you have to prove it.
- Record the date it was confirmed changed, not just the date you told them.
- Order post redirection early and note the reference.
- Keep going down the list for a month after the move; things surface.
What is on the sheet
The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
Questions
How long should I redirect post for?
The sheet does not say — the options, prices and maximum periods differ by country and postal service. Order it early, note the reference, and keep the sheet going until nothing new arrives.

One new sheet, most weeks
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
