Moving within Switzerland: an address-change checklist
A domestic move changes several records at once. Keep one checklist for the old address, new address, confirmed move date and acknowledgements so that an application is not mistaken for a completed change.
Your working checklist
Tick items for this visit or print a copy. This public checklist does not save your answers.
A useful record for every change
For each organisation, record what you sent, when you sent it, the reference or receipt you retained, and the next follow-up date. Keep sensitive documents outside this public checklist.
Moving across a cantonal boundary
Do not assume that an old office's process carries over to your new canton. Use the new commune's instructions and ask the relevant authorities about any residence, tax or vehicle questions specific to your circumstances.
