2. School Records: Your child's permanent school records are usually required when registering your child at a new school. Often, copies will not be sufficient, and records with a raised seal will be necessary.

5. Local Business Errands: Remember to complete transactions with local businesses (for example picking up your dry cleaning).
6. Your New Address: In the flurry of preparing for the move, you may often forget your forwarding address - important information when forwarding periodicals and credit card bills, as well as keeping in touch with old friends.
7. Spare House Keys: The collection of spare house keys cans often be forgotten. Whether it means getting them from neighbors who kept them, or retrieving them from under the rack next to the front door, don't forget to gather all sets before you depart.
8. Don't forget the Pets! In most cases, moving companies cannot transport animals or plants. Remember to make arrangements for their transfer.
9. Cleaning: Although you focus will be on your new home, you can't forget about preparing the old residence for your exit. Remember to leave out cleaning supplies for the final "once over" before closing the door for good or make arrangements in advance for a service to clean it for you.
