What's left to do?

• Voter Registration: You should really know this by now, but if you haven’t registered to vote in Jacksonville you’ve given up your best chance to have a positive impact on your new community.
• Driver’s License: Getting a Florida driver’s license with your new address on it is fairly critical for a number of reasons both legally and functionally.
• Out-of-State Vehicle Registration: And if you have a car with you, you’ll probably need to get a new set of Florida license plates pretty soon after moving.
• Trash & Recycling: You should prioritize getting this set up with the Jacksonville Solid Waste Division to make sure you aren’t accumulating trash in front of your place for weeks after moving in.
• Meet New People and Making Friends: On top of the stress of moving, you’ll probably also want to make some new connections within the community. Thankfully, there are plenty of resources online to make that a bit easier. Meetup is a good spot for finding people who share your interests and r/jacksonville is a solid hub of information about goings on around town.
