whom to notify when you change your mailing address

I recently moved to a new apartment, which involved notifying many, many organizations of my change of address. I'd be happiest if some website handled this for me, and updated my address everywhere, but in the meantime I created a list of organizations to notify in the hope that it will be useful to someone, perhaps the future me:

  • the USPS
  • your school/job
  • any banks at which you have an account
  • any investment management companies, like Vanguard
  • Amazon, eBay, PayPal, and any other sites that need your address
  • your cell phone provider
  • your cable and/or Internet provider
  • any insurance providers (car, health, etc.)
  • any credit card companies with whom you have an account
  • voter registration
  • vehicle and driver registration
Is there anything I missed? Also, does a list like this already exist anywhere? I couldn't find one...
