After you move house you’ll need to do a little leg work to update your details and change your address. Each organisation will have different requirements to process the address change. You may need a copy of your lease or to show your updated driver’s license. Some organisations can do it over the phone or via email, some will require formal paperwork to be filled in and returned.
