Changing address - Who *needs* to know?

[RastaManBob]

Hi,

I am soon going to be changing my address. As I will be leaving the family home if I forget to change some details (for example a mobile phone bill) then it is not the end of the world - My parents can look after or forward mail to me. My question therefore, is who *needs* to know? I am intending to transfer all details eventually however I am more interested in knowing those that need to know immediately.

Eg, driving license, passport, etc? I am aware that most of this may be available by searching online however I was hoping somebody else may have done this recently and can advise.

Thank you!

Thanks for all of the helpful replies.

I'm currently trying to find out if I need to change my address on my passport. I cannot find anything on the DirectGov website and a few web forums (from Google searches) seem to suggest it is not necessary. Can anybody confirm if this is the case? If I do need to alter the address can you advise who I contact and how.

Thank you.

EDIT: Just rang Identity & Passport Services (IPS) who confirmed change of address is not necessary for passport.
