Anyone have a checklist that I can crib for moving house

Moving from Zurich to Aargau and the planning is making my head numb

I have kids at school , do I need to inform the new schools upfront ?
How soon do i inform the Gemeinde (both)?

the enormity of the task seems to have to have me blocked!

You could check on Homegate website http://www.homegate.ch/moving
you can find good checklist. I have used this when i moved from Bern to Zurich , and find it very helpful

Yes, there are a lot of details. Been there, done it. When you deregister where you are, they usually inform the new Gemeinde, but not always. My advice is to get a confirmation in writing.

You may be asked for proof of your new address (rental contract if you are renting) should suffice.

Good luck with the move and welcome to Kt. Aargau.
