Submit a notification of move at the earliest one month before the date of the move or at the latest one week after the move. Submit a notification in time before moving to ensure that your information is updated as quickly as possible in the Population Information System and that your mail is not interrupted.
You can also block the move notification for us through Check Your Registered Data service. In such a case, no one can submit a notification of move for you. Read more about blocking the move notification on our website.
