You must contact all of the Insurance Companies that you have a policy with to notify them of your address change. In some cases you may need to fill out a form to verify the information but in most cases a phone call will do. Remember to notify your Home Insurance Company in plenty of time before your move as you will likely need to give the Bank or Trust Company the policy number and information to finalize your mortgage agreement. Below is a checklist of the various Insurance Companies you may need to call.
• Life
• Auto
• Disability
• Home
• Group Health
Other
• Schools
• Veterinarian
We have done our best to help you with the various places you will need to call. Be sure to double check that you have notified everyone. A good way to double check is by noting the address your mail has been sent to after your move. With notifying Canada Post, they will re-route your mail to your new address if the person sending it has put your old address on it. When you notice this, you can write the sender a little note or send along one of your change of address cards you received in your change of address package from Canada Post.
