Free Moving Day Essentials Checklist

The first night in a new home is easier when the few things you need are easy to find.

This free one-page checklist helps you pack a personal bag and a clearly labelled first-night box. It includes practical starting items and space for your household's own needs. No email or account is needed.

One page, designed for letter-size paper. Choose “fit to page” when printing on A4.

How to use it

Keep keys, medication, contacts, and other important items somewhere you can reach without opening the moving truck. Put the first-night basics in a separate box or bag, label it clearly, and write down who has it or where it will travel. Add anything specific to your household in the blank lines.
