Below, we've compiled a comprehensive list of all the companies and services you can seamlessly inform about your change of address through SlothMove 😊

🏡Council Tax

We’ll notify your council of your move. If you're moving out of the area, your account will be closed, and you’ll receive a final bill. If you’re staying within the same council, they’ll update your account. If you're moving to a new council area, we’ll inform them, and they’ll reach out to set you up.

🏛️ Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)

🪪 Driving Licence

We’ll help you update your address on your driving licence with the DVLA to keep your details up to date and avoid potential fines.

Your licence must be valid and not close to needing renewal for us to process the update.

If you are currently disqualified from driving, we can also notify the DVLA on your behalf.

🗳️ Electoral Roll

We’ll make sure you're registered to vote at your new address, ensuring you remain eligible for upcoming elections.

💡 Energy

We’ll inform the energy company at your previous home that you’re moving. Energy doesn’t typically move with you when you relocate - your supply stays with the property. This means you’ll need to set up a new energy account at your new home.

💰 HM Revenues and Customs

We’ll update your records with HMRC, ensuring you are correctly linked to your new address.

🏥 NHS

We’ll help update your address with your GP, ensuring your medical records are kept up to date and that you receive any important correspondence. If you're moving out of your GP's catchment area, we can also help you find a new practice near your new home. Updating your GP will also update your address with the NHS.

📺 TV Licensing

We can help you set up, cancel, or transfer your TV licence to your new address, ensuring you remain covered and compliant with licensing regulations.

🚗 Vehicle Registration (V5C)

We’ll help you update your vehicle logbook (V5C) with the DVLA to ensure your car is registered at the correct address. This service is available as long as the car is registered in your name and you have your V5C details.

🚿 Water

We’ll notify your current and/or new water provider so your final bill is accurate, and your new account is set up smoothly at your new home.


When you move home, updating your address can feel overwhelming—but some changes are more important than others. That’s why we’ve identified the Big 10 - the essential updates that take care of the core services tied to your home and identity.

By updating these key organisations, you can:

✅ Ensure you stay registered to vote at your new address
✅ Keep your NHS records accurate so you don’t miss important medical correspondence
✅ Settle energy and water bills smoothly, avoiding unexpected charges
