A big event "moving" that sometimes comes in a long life.
Many people experience moving many times in their lives, but the work procedure is quite complicated. I think there are many people who get tired and cut every time.
In order to make moving easier, this time, I will explain such moving as a process in chronological order.
In each situation, such as selecting a moving company from a moving estimate, the day before and after the moving procedure, public procedures such as resident's card, changing the infrastructure of electricity, gas, and water, procedures for transferring children to school, changing registration related to automobiles, etc. Introducing necessary items and registration change deadlines. Please use it as a "complete manual" related to moving.

What should I do if I decide to move?How to make a moving plan
It is important to make a plan in advance and prepare according to the plan in order to move smoothly. First of all, I will explain how to make a plan.
The moving arrangements will change depending on when you can move in. By not only thinking about "the day you want to move" but also knowing "when you can move in at the earliest", you can adjust the schedule between the moving company and yourself, which may lead to moving at a low price. ..
However, if you pay the rent in vain, you will be overwhelmed. Please understand the shortest possible move-in date along with the conditions of rent, such as whether the rent is settled on a monthly basis, whether it can be settled on a half-month basis or on a daily basis.
After confirming the move-in date, let's prepare in advance at the new address. Specifically, we will grasp the "room layout of the new house and the route for bringing in luggage".
Get as much information as you can, such as floor plans, storage dimensions, and floor plans from the management company of your new house. And if possible, adjust to do a preview. By previewing, you can get an accurate delivery route, storage size, furniture layout image, etc.
Moving is not just about bringing in beds, large appliances, and furniture, but also arranging and wiring. Check the dimensions of the following routes.
Such.
Once you know the floor plan and storage size of the room, imagine where and what to place. If there is something that does not fit in the size, it is important to give up at this stage, such as buying a new one to match the size.
Recently, there are a lot of web software and smartphone apps that can simulate the layout based on the room layout. If you have a windows environment, we recommend "Sekkei Club" as a fairly high-performance free software. There are many smartphone apps that can be used for free, such as "Home Design 3D – Free", so it's a good idea to make use of these to create a layout while having fun.
By arranging the furniture layout in advance, you can avoid the waste of moving such as throwing away the furniture you brought in. If you purchase new furniture or home appliances, you can have them carried directly to your new home, which will help reduce the amount of cargo.
The Internet is one of the things that you need to prepare for a contract in advance according to the equipment environment of your new house. There are various cases such as when the usage environment is already limited depending on the property you move in, or when you have to install a new one.
Regarding the construction of new construction, whether or not it is possible to take in the line depends on the property management company and the landlord. Even if it is possible, it may take up to a month to open a new line.
Therefore, considering the possibility of new installation of the Internet, we recommend that you prepare early when the move is confirmed. If there is a delay, you can temporarily overcome it with a mobile line, so it is a good idea to make a planned arrangement.
Obtain cardboard and packing materials, and pack unused items in the closet and seasonal items in cardboard as soon as possible. The average number of cardboard boxes required is 15 to 20 per adult, and 10 to 15 for children.
If you sign a contract with a moving company, you may get it cheaply or get it for free. However, the time when the moving company is decided is generally a few weeks ago. It is also necessary to consider whether packing will be in time at this timing, or whether to decide on a moving company early in anticipation of that. In addition, it is highly possible that you will not be able to receive the moving period, so it is not recommended to plan on the assumption that you will receive it.
This is also available at home improvement stores and online shopping. However, it is not necessary to wrap everything in an air cap. Use newspapers as a substitute to keep costs down.
Here are some common points when packing cardboard. If you can pack these items in mind, pack them as soon as possible.
For more information on packing tips with cardboard, see the following article.
Cardboard, a must-have item for moving!From how to get it to packing points
Since the personal computer is a precision instrument, it needs to be packed more carefully. Yamato Transport's personal computer Takkyubin is packed with special materials, so you can rest assured.
However, in most cases, even if something happens to the data inside, compensation cannot be obtained, so be sure to make a backup. If you own a private car, one option is to carry it yourself.
Transportation of special musical instruments such as pianos will be charged separately and may not be covered. It may be safer to consider a specialist company individually if you think about it.
The following article explains in detail the points to note when moving a piano.
How to carry and carry the piano when moving
Not only will the compensation not work for antiques and special works of art, but the moving company may not be able to handle it. If applicable, be sure to check with a specialist in advance.
Some of your luggage when you move may not need to be taken to your new address. When moving, it is necessary to sort out whether it is unnecessary and dispose of unnecessary items.
If you put "what if", you tend to have a lot of luggage. Moving is a change of heart and the beginning of a new life. It's also a good opportunity to take the plunge and organize what you don't need. It's a good idea to draw a line between what you need and what you don't need based on what you need for your life, not what you might use.
The point is not to try to sort everything at once. Consider the necessity for each category in clothing for clothing and books for books. The less luggage you have, the cheaper your moving costs will be and the lighter your mind will be for a new life.
If you find unnecessary home appliances or clothing, the thrift shop is a great deal. If the usage is limited, you should consider giving it to an online auction or an acquaintance.
If you can't give it up and can't sell it, you can have the moving company pick it up, but whether it's free or paid depends on the client. Therefore, it is safer to have the moving company pick up the unnecessary items that came out on the day of the move. Before deciding on a moving company, think about getting rid of some unnecessary items.
There are two ways to get rid of it yourself, one is to put out the garbage according to the collection time of the local government, and the other is to have a waste collection company pick it up. In the case of a collection company, even if the disposal cost is incurred by the local government, it may be taken home free of charge.
In either case, identifying unnecessary items early and deciding on a disposal method is the key to reducing unnecessary expenses.
The following article explains in detail how to dispose of unneeded items.
Summary of disposal methods for disused items that appear when moving
It is convenient if you invite your neighbors to a dinner party so that you can greet the people who took care of you at once. Depending on the case, it is better to use phone and email properly. But don't forget to apologize for not being able to meet you in person.You should also prepare souvenirs for greetings. It costs less than 1,000 yen, and you can save time by preparing souvenirs for your neighbors and new neighbors (about 3 houses next to each other).
Make sure to say hello to those who have taken care of you a few days before you move.
Please refer to the following articles for details on how to greet those who have taken care of you.

How to choose a moving company
I want to move a little cheaper, but the cheaper it is, the better. I would like to ask a reliable company as much as possible because I will carry important household goods. Here are some tips for choosing a reliable supplier with a low price.
Check if the customer service attitude when requesting a quote or making an inquiry is kind. It is safer to forgo a contract if you are arrogant or unfriendly, thinking that it is unlikely that you will be satisfied with your response if something goes wrong.
Let's also check the correspondence of the contractor at the time of the visit quotation. If the sales person does not come on time, or if you do not get in touch even after the promised time, it is safer to exclude the vendor from the options.
It is also a good idea to ask questions such as "what happens if your luggage is lost" and "what happens if the wall or corridor of your new house is damaged" to see how friendly you are. it's recommended. If you kindly explain until you are satisfied, you can think of it as a reliable supplier.
I would like to make the moving cost as cheap as possible, but it is important to note that some companies are trying to make a contract by offering a price that is significantly cheaper than the market price.
We are glad that you can get it cheaper, but in reality, we may underestimate the number of staff, or we may set up a cheap plan that does not fix the start time and offer a quote. Be careful of those who only appeal to undertake at a significantly lower price than the market price and at a lower price than other companies.
It is also important for the contractor to respond after requesting a quote. Those who respond quickly are likely to be able to respond immediately if something goes wrong, but those who are slow to contact or do not receive a reply immediately may be slow to respond to anything. If you have difficulty contacting us after requesting a quote, you should remove it from the options at that point.
Make sure that your sales representative is checking the amount of furniture and luggage when making a visit quote. Those who are not sure about the amount of luggage and are not sure about the amount of luggage should forgo the contract.
Trucks that are too small or estimated with a small number of staff, or conversely, trucks that are too large or have too many staff members may be set and the amount of money may be overestimated. If you have a lot of luggage but it is too cheap, or if you should have a small amount of luggage but it is too expensive, we recommend that you check the size of the truck, the number of staff, etc. on the quotation.
Finally, it is important to check the contents of the quotation properly. If you think something is wrong, such as the plan is not in line with your wishes, or it is different from the sales representative's explanation, let's forgo the contract.
I want to know in advance! What is the market price for moving costs?
Before requesting a quote, it is important to know the moving fee in advance. Knowing what determines the price and what the market price is will help you determine if the quote offered by the vendor is the right price. Be careful not to sign up for a high price with optional services that you don't need as the mover tells you.
We also recommend that you ask several companies to make a comparison. A sales person who comes to a visit quote may ask about another company's quote. At that time, if you tell other companies that you are requesting a quote, you will be more competitive and will guide you to a safer and more profitable service.
The moving fee depends on the distance you carry, the size of the truck you need (that is, the amount of luggage), the number of staff, the time of the move, the time of the move, and so on. It is difficult to adjust the distance and the amount of luggage, but you can make it cheaper by choosing a cheap time and time zone. Weekday afternoon flights are recommended, avoiding the busy season from February to March and weekends and holidays.
As mentioned above, the moving fee varies depending on the moving company's fee setting, the distance to be carried, the amount of luggage, etc., so it can not be said unconditionally, but when moving alone to another prefecture (same region) during the normal period, an average of 40,000 The market price for moving a family of 3 or more to another prefecture (same region) is about 80,000 yen on average. If the number of people moving decreases and the transportation distance becomes shorter, it will be several thousand yen cheaper than this amount, and conversely, if the number of people increases and the transportation distance becomes longer, it will increase during the busy season.
There is a site where you can simulate the average of the moving price and the lowest / highest price, so it is recommended to check it. If you know it as a guide, it will be useful for price negotiation when making an estimate.
How to get a quote from a moving company
An important task before moving is to request a quote from the moving company. There are two main ways to do this, so I will introduce them separately.
In addition, there is basically no need to pay a deposit or deposit in the quotation, but preview costs may be incurred. At this time, you should be informed in advance, so please consider that you will incur costs only in that case. This rule is based on the "Standard Conditions of Carriage", so you should check it if you think you will be required to pay unreasonably.
With the spread of the Internet, it has become possible to make bulk quotations on the homepage. With one input, you can get a quote within a few days from the day, get a feel for the moving cost, and find a moving company that suits your moving style.
For bulk quotes, it is important to enter accurate conditions such as the amount of luggage and the range of requests on the homepage. If you can afford the schedule, finish packing as much as possible, and then enter the correct number of packages to get a consistent estimate.
If you do not have time to spare, or if you are thinking about requesting packaging itself, you may not be able to imagine the required amount of cardboard. In such a case, use an average of 15 to 20 cardboard boxes per adult and 10 to 15 cardboard boxes for children as a guide, and calculate the value by taking into account the amount of personal load. Would be good.
In the batch estimate, you can set various conditions other than the number of cardboard boxes and make an estimate. Whether to request from "packing itself work" to "unpacking", "arrangement of furniture", "setting of wiring of home appliances", or "disposal of unnecessary items" The amount of moving required will vary depending on the settings, such as whether or not you will be asked to do so.
If you want cheapness, you should do what you can. However, the moving conditions and background will be different for each, so please adjust the request range wisely according to your own situation. Each bulk quote site is devised so that you can set conditions in a visually easy-to-understand manner, so please check on the page and apply it to your own conditions.
Schedule image when a batch estimate is made one month in advanceBulk quotation (1 month ago) → Selection of candidates for several companies (around 3 days) → Estimate of visits by several companies (around 7 days)
3 Recommended Moving Estimates SitesThe following 3 sites are recommended for making a bulk quote for moving.
If you have time to spare, consider "understanding the market price" and "narrowing down to a few companies" in this bulk quote. It is recommended that you narrow down the moving companies to a few companies with "Bulk estimate" and then select one company with "Visit estimate". There is no cost to estimate, so please use it positively.
If you aren't moving from March to April, you can get a bulk quote a month in advance and you'll be ready to move with just the right schedule. If you do not have time to spare, consider entering accurate information with the intention of deciding on one company with a bulk quote, or deciding only with a direct request (telephone or visit quote) as explained below. please.
A direct request is literally a form of requesting a quote directly from the moving company. There are two main types, one that you request directly by phone and the other that you visit and get a quote.
Phone quoteA telephone quote is a form in which you call the moving company directly to get a quote. There are the following advantages and disadvantages, so please consider according to your own situation.
In general, telephone quotes are effective when a woman lives alone and does not want a visit quote, when she has a small amount of luggage and can grasp it exactly, or when it is difficult to secure a response time for a visit. However, as a disadvantage, the moving company has no choice but to make arrangements on a scale that can afford it. Compared to the visit estimate, it tends to be a little more expensive because it is about.
The point when making a phone quote by yourself is to properly prepare a "moving content list" in advance. Specifically, it is information such as the amount and type of luggage, grasping the size, the amount of cardboard according to it, the floor plan of the new house, the equipment environment related to carrying in (stairs, elevator, truck stop space, etc.).
Also, please call us under conditions where you can confirm the move so that we can answer the questions of the person in charge of the moving company as appropriate. It's a good idea to use your handset or mobile phone when you're at home.
Visit estimateA visit estimate is a method of having people come to your house and visually check your luggage. If possible, it is better to use this method whenever possible. The wisest choice is to roughly narrow down the request destinations with the above-mentioned bulk quote, make this visit quote, and select the final company.
In addition to grasping the amount of cargo, hearings about the contents of the move, confirmation of the range to be requested, moving procedures, explanation of charges, etc. are performed. It is necessary to clean up the room to some extent in advance because you will be able to check it directly visually. It also includes grasping the size of large household appliances and furniture, so it is better to clean it as much as possible.
In the case of a visit quotation, you may be asked to come on the day of the request, but basically, please request with a margin about one week in advance. Plan for more time during the moving season.
Things to prepare before moving
After deciding on a moving company, it's time to prepare for the moving work. In this item, we will explain what you need to prepare in advance.
Start packing two weeks in advance. If you have a lot of luggage, you can start earlier, but if you pack too early, it will make your life inconvenient, so if you do not have much luggage, about two weeks ago is just right.
For more information on packing tips, please refer to this article.
Decluttering, decluttering, and decluttering are the decisive factors!10 tips for packing before moving
If you dispose of unneeded items that you do not bring to your new house, you will have less luggage when you move. Check the garbage collection date in advance and dispose of the waste in a planned manner. During the busy season of February to March, when moving is concentrated, it will be difficult to make reservations for oversized garbage collection and purchase, so it is recommended to make it early.
For more information on disposing of unwanted items, please refer to this article.

Procedures to be performed before moving
Next, I will explain the procedures that should be performed in advance. Let's steadily check one by one so as not to forget.Regarding the move-out of the rental contract, the deadline for filing the tax return is generally one month before the move-out. It is recommended to check it as it is described in the "rental contract". If you are late in contacting us, you may be charged a month's rent, so please be sure to complete the procedure.
You cannot use a landline phone at your new address unless you complete the relocation procedure. It is a good idea to call "116" without the area code as soon as possible to confirm.
If the telephone line has already been pulled in, only the work inside the NTT station will be required, but if the telephone line is not pulled in, you will need to be present. Relocation work requires reservations, so it's a good idea to contact us as soon as possible.
Also, if you use it together with the Internet, it may be more profitable to use Hikari Denwa. Your options will change depending on whether you already have an internet connection at your new address, so it's a good idea to check as soon as possible and consider a good communication cost plan.
Please complete the suspension and start of use of electricity, gas and water at least one or two weeks before you move. You will need information such as your "customer number", so be sure to have your receipt and meter reading slip ready when you contact us.
ElectricityBoth the suspension and start procedures can be performed on the relevant websites such as TEPCO Energy Partner (hereinafter referred to as "TEPCO EP") and Kansai Electric Power.
With the liberalization of electric power, electric power companies will be able to choose. Before you move, you can use the electricity procedure at the energy change destination to review and switch the power company at once.
gasA staff member will be required to be present on the day of the event. Please make a reservation considering the time when the move will be completed to some extent, considering that you can only open the cap after arriving at your new house. If it overlaps with the moving season, please complete the procedure a few weeks in advance. There are many places where you can complete the procedure on the website, such as Tokyo Gas and Osaka Gas, but depending on the type of gas and the gas company, you may need to make a phone call.
Water servicesThe procedure differs depending on the water department in your jurisdiction, so it is a good idea to contact us to confirm.
You can change the address of NHK's broadcast reception fee and change the contract of satellite broadcasting such as SKY PerfecTV on the homepage. Make sure to complete the procedure in advance by contacting cable TV etc. directly.

You will also need to change your address for the national pension. Please bring your current National Health Insurance Certificate and National Pension Handbook.
Seal registration is generally abolished automatically by changing the resident's card (submitting a move-out notification). However, if you are visiting the office, it is a good idea to return the "seal registration certificate" together with the procedures for other documents.
In addition, those who are eligible for medical insurance for the elderly, those who are eligible for long-term care insurance, and those who are eligible for child allowance or infant medical assistance should also apply.
If you have a dog, you may need to change your registration when you move out, or you may only need to change your registration when you move in, so it's a good idea to check in advance. If you want to change your registration when you move out, you will need your "old stamp", "rabies vaccination certificate" and "seal".

What you want to do the day before you move
There is something I want to do the day before I move. Here, I will explain what I want to do the day before.
Unless you have requested the moving company to include the packaging, be sure to pack and carry out everything except the ones you use on the day by the day before.当日にスムーズな搬出を促すためにも、引越し当日に梱包をしようとは考えないでください。搬出作業が遅れると、引越しが予定内で終わらずに追加費用がかかる場合もあります。
なお、引越し当日にしか梱包できないものは必要なダンボールを前日に確保しておきましょう。
家具や家電の搬出をするにあたって事前の準備を済ませておきましょう。具体的には以下の通りです。
冷蔵庫や洗濯機の水抜きは、スムーズに運び出すためにも忘れずに行ないましょう。
石油ストーブやファンヒーターの灯油も前日には抜いておきましょう。残したまま搬出されると、家具を汚してしまうなどのトラブルに繋がる場合がありますので、忘れずにしておきましょう。
使用しない部屋であれ、前日に照明器具も取り外し、拭き掃除をして搬出準備をしておきましょう。
引越し料金や光熱費の精算をする場合に備え、余裕のある現金を用意しておいてください。当日慌てて銀行に行くことのないよう、前日までに準備しましょう。
家族以外の人の出入りが多くなることに配慮し、貴重品などは小さなバッグにまとめ、常に身につけておけるように準備しておきます。
引越し当日にやるべきこと
いよいよ引越し当日です。当日やっておくべきことは以下の通りです。
当日にしか梱包できないものを手際良く梱包していきましょう。掃除機やタオルやペーパー類、ティッシュなどについては、退去の直前までに使用することが想定されます。ダンボールを忘れずに一つ残しておきましょう。
特に注意すべき荷物や搬入経路の確認、トラックの停車場所、家具の配置など、担当者に最終チェックしておきましょう。当日支払いがある場合は作業前に精算するのが一般的ですので、早めに支払いを済ませておくといいでしょう。
家具の配置などに関しては新居で作業員から確認を求められるケースも多いです。曖昧な回答をせず、スムーズに作業を促せるよう明確な返事を心がけてください。
事前に申し込んでいると、引越し当日に係員が来てメーターの確認や閉栓等を行ないます。それぞれに対応が異なりますので、以下にて確認してください。
事前にご近所さんへ挨拶ができていない場合は、時間を見計らって当日挨拶に伺ってください。ただし遅くなり過ぎると失礼にもなりますので、状況に応じて後日に行なうなどの判断で良いでしょう。
手土産を添えて向こう3軒両隣くらいを基準に挨拶すると良いでしょう。
集合住宅の挨拶の場合、上下左右の4室への挨拶が基本とされています。その上で住宅のサイズやエレベーターの有無などにより、下段の方へは全て挨拶しておくなど臨機応変に対応するといいでしょう。
最近ではプライバシーやセキュリティーの関係から都会ほど挨拶しないということも増えていますが、女性の一人暮らしなどでなければ、最低限の挨拶は済ませ気持ちよく新生活をスタートさせましょう。
引越しの挨拶については以下の記事もご参照下さい。
意外に知らない?引越しの挨拶の常識、非常識
引越し後にやっておかなければならないこと
新居に荷物を運んだからと言ってやるべきことが全て終わったわけではありません。引越し後にもやらなければならないことがあります。管理会社の担当者が破損個所のチェックなどを行なった後、鍵を返却することになります。入居時に無かった傷や穴などについては原状回復義務が生じることもあります。また要らないからと荷物を残していくと処分費用が求められる場合もありますので、最終の忘れ物も確認しある程度の掃除をしてから管理会社の担当者を迎えられるようにしましょう。
荷物を搬入し荷解きを終えたらダンボール等の梱包材の返却をしましょう。また、場合によって不要品の処分なども相談できます。ただし、別途料金が必要な場合がありますので、なるべく出さないようにするといいでしょう。
前住所の役場で「転出届」を出した時に取得した「転出証明証」と「身分証明証」「印鑑」「マイナンバー」を持って、新住所の市役所で「転入届」を提出します。また各種手続き(主に自動車や運転免許関係)で必要となってくる住民票も必要部数確認してまとめて取得しておくと2度手間にならずに済みます。
「転入学通知書」は、「転入届」の提出で発行される場合と、「住民票」を教育委員会に提出して発行される場合とあります。教育委員会は役場内に設置されている場合がほとんどですので、役場で「転入届」を受理した段階で職員に尋ねると良いでしょう。
転出元の学校で受け取っていた「在学証証明書」と「教科用図書給与証明書」を提示して、「転入学通知書」を受け取って、併せて転入先の学校に提出してください。この手続きについても教育委員会の担当者から説明を受けるでしょう。
国民年金は住所変更のみで済みますが、国民健康保険については新たに申し込みをすることになります。役場での転入届と同時に登録してくれる場合と、別に申請する必要がある場合とに分かれます。
別に申請をする場合については、旧住所役場で受取った「転出証明書」と「身分証明証」の提示が必要です。口座振替にする場合は、「銀行口座の印鑑」も求められます。
印鑑登録については、必要な場合登録しましょう。登録しておく場合は、「実印」と「身分証明証」を持って手続きしましょう。
また、後期高齢者医療保険該当者や介護保険該当者、児童手当や乳幼児医療助成の該当者は必要書類を揃えて転入届を出す時に役場でまとめて手続きしておくと良いでしょう。
猫や小鳥、小動物は必要のないものですが、犬に関しては旧鑑札を「新鑑札」へと変える手続きが必要です。 「旧鑑札」と「狂犬病予防注射済証」「印鑑」を持って、新住所の役場か保健所で手続きするものとなりますので、役場で確認すると良いでしょう。
同一市区町村での引越しの場合は「転居届」で自動的に住所変更がされますので手続き不要です。一方、新旧住所の市区町村が異なる場合、原付は一旦廃車にしてから新たに登録することになります。
その後、新住所役場にて「廃車申告書」と「住民票(新住所が確認できるもの)」「身分証明証」「印鑑」を持って原付の登録手続きをして新しいナンバープレートを受取ります。
自動車関連の手続きは所轄の警察署で行います。
自動車関連の変更手続きのためには、車庫証明が必要になります。この「自動車保管場所証明書(車庫証明)」は、新しく使用する車庫の所轄の警察署で以下の必要書類を提出して取得します。
警察署で申請してから発行までに概ね3日程度かかり2度足を運ぶ必要があるため、免許証の住所変更などと併せて計画的に準備しましょう。
新住所の管轄の警察署や運転免許更新センター・運転免許試験場にて、運転免許の住所変更を行ないます。必要な書類は、「免許証」と「住民票等の新しい住所を確認できる書類」です。
引越しで必要な車の手続きについて、詳しくは以下の記事でご説明しています。
引越しの際に必要な車の手続き総まとめ
所轄陸運局で、自動車や自動二輪車の登録変更手続き(15日以内)自動車検査証の登録変更を行なう必要があります。新住所の管轄の陸運局にて「自動車車検証」と「車庫証明」「住民票」「手数料納付書(当日)」「自動車税・自動車取得税申告書(当日)」「印鑑」に手数料を添えて申し込みます。ナンバープレートが変更になることから、車で出かけて取り替えてください。
※軽自動車については、軽自動車検査協会にて行ないます。
パスポートの住所については、「所持人記入欄」に任意で記入するものです。よって、既に旧住所が書かれてある場合は、二重線で訂正して新たな住所を書きいれれば問題ありません。
ただし、「所持人記入欄」以外のページに新住所を書き入れてはいけません。また訂正に修正液を使うことも禁止されています。
名前や本籍が変わった場合は「記載事項変更旅券」の申請手続きが必要になります。各都道府県の旅券事務所にて、「有効期間のパスポート」と戸籍変更の経緯が確認できる「戸籍抄本(または戸籍謄本)」を1通、「6ケ月以内の写真35mm×45mm」1枚を添えて、「一般旅券発給申請書(記載事項変更)」に記載をして申請します。
パスポート自体の有効期間に変更はありませんが、旅券番号が変更になります。急な海外旅行で混乱しないように、引越しによって名前や本籍地の変更が生じた場合は、「記載事項変更旅券」の申請手続きも忘れずにしておきましょう。
新居の片づけが一段落したら、ハガキやメール等で友人などに引越し完了を伝えるといいでしょう。新居に招いて簡単な食事会などができれば、招かれた友人もあなたの新生活をサポートしてくれる強い味方になるでしょう。
引越しに関する疑問にお答えします!
最後に、引越し時によくある疑問にお答えしていきます。
3月や4月の引越しシーズンはどうしても料金が割高になります。また日祝に関しては休日の2割増、深夜時間帯(22時~朝5時の間)で2割3割増になる場合がほとんどです。土曜日も割高になる傾向があることから、自由に引越し日を設定できるのであれば、平日を引越し日に設定することが得策です。
希望時間に関しても、一般的に午後が割安になります。これは単純に午前中に引越しを始めて夜にはゆっくりしたいという需要や、午前作業の完了時刻が未確定なことから、午後予約はある程度幅のある時間枠で設定されることによります。ただしこれも場合によりますので、引越し会社のスケジュールに合わせるフリープランで見積もるのが一番の割安を引き出すコツです。
引越し会社と契約した後にキャンセル(解約や延期)した場合は、キャンセル料金が発生することがあります。これは「標準引越し運送約款」によるものですので、注意が必要です。以下がその内容になっています。
キャンセルの必要が生じた場合、前々日までのキャンセルであれば解約料金が請求されないと言えます。ただし、契約することでダンボール等の梱包材を入手している場合は、使用しているものについて実費精算が行なわれます。
