Moving Information

Let's face it, moving is a total pain. Here are some resources to help make your relocation to Charlotte almost hassle free:

United States Postal Service: The postal carrier has finally become online friendly, and having just recently utilized their online change of address form, I can vouch that it works. The $1.00 fee for submitting the form online seems a bit ridiculous, but it's well worth the convenience.

All Connect, a local company that will contact all of the local utility companies and set up new service for you, saving you the hassle of contacting each one individually. Best of all, the service is free, and covers things like newspaper subscriptions and high speed internet service as well.

Department of Motor Vehicles: The Georgia Department of Motor Vehicles is embracing technology and allowing drivers to perform certain functions, such as renewals, online. However, address changes still have to be done in person, at a full testing facility. If in doubt about where you need to go, email or call to verify before standing in a long line for nothing.

Department of Transportation: The Georgia DOT will become an integral part of life to anyone driving in Georgia. From up to date information on traffic, road construction, and special projects that could affect your commute time, to commuter programs designed to ease the traffic on Atlanta roads, they are one of the most powerful agencies in the state.

Voter Registration: Don't forget to register to vote. You can't register to vote online yet, but you can print the voter registration form from this site, fill it out, sign it, and mail it to the address indicated.

Doctor Locator: This service can help new residents in their search for a doctor in the metro Atlanta area that meets their specific needs.
