If you’re moving home or have recently moved you will most certainly want to know how to redirect your mail. You won’t miss a thing from companies and you stop your mail getting into the wrong hands.

You might be wondering: Can I redirect mail for free?

The answer is yes, 100% thanks to a new service. 

In this article we will show you how to redirect your mail for free.

How to redirect your mail

There are two ways to redirect your mail. One costs money and the other is free and we’ll show you both. Thanks to a brand new service (SlothMove) you can now redirect your mail. Previously, you would either need to pay a monthly redirection fee or spend over 7 hours on the phone telling everyone you’ve moved.

SlothMove is a free moving home platform in which you can tell all of your companies/institutions (such as Council, Water, Loyalty Cards, DVLA etc…) that you’re moving home. There, you can cover everything related to your home move such as getting there, reducing the cost of your energy and more.

How to redirect your mail for free?

Redirecting your mail for free is easy. Here’s how using SlothMove’s new moving home technology:

  • o Enter your information into SlothMove’s moving home platform below
  • o Enter your previous and new address
  • o Select who needs to know you’re moving home
  • o Click submit and your address will be updated with those companies and institutions at no charge
  •  

The advantage of updating your address this way is that your companies will actually have your new address on their records. You can also close-down and cancel your services. Why is SlothMove free? SlothMove is all about simplicity, sustainability and stress-free moving. We’re on a mission to change the way the UK moves forever and believe a stress-free move should be available to everyone. If you’re interested, you can find more out about our mission.

What documents do I need to redirect my mail?​

What documents do I need to redirect my mail?

You actually don’t require any documents to redirect your mail. With SlothMove’s online change of address service you just need to provide some key information such as your previous and new address, amongst other things. There is no need to get your passport or any other information if you’re wondering how to redirect mail. You will need:

  • o Your name, previous address and new address
  • o Contact information
  • o Who you’d like to update your address with
  • o Supporting info if available such as TV Licencing number, meter reads etc…
 
Setting-up a redirection is worth doing. Some reports suggest that the average person moves every 23 years. Whilst some move much more frequently than that, given the number of addresses we may have a presence at we should carry our ‘digital self’ with us.
