As a person who has changed 9 places of residence in his whole life and moved several times from apartment to apartment within the same settlement, I can fully confirm the truthfulness of the people's comparison of moving with two fires.

Relocation without damage and loss of property, without wasting nerves and health? This probably happens only in commercials of moving companies, but in reality the situation looks much more complicated.

So, in order ...

Documents
If you are moving from city to city, and not to a neighboring street, then before you leave you need to prepare a package of documents.

Dismissal. Do not forget the work book, health book (if any), income certificates (for 2 years, 12 months, half a year and 3 months) and average wages (required for the subsequent calculation of sick leave payments, when registering with Employment Center, for registration of benefits).

The employer can be asked for written recommendations or a description (useful when looking for a new job). If the reason for dismissal is the transfer of the husband-serviceman to a new duty station, this should be indicated in the application for dismissal, attach a certificate of transfer and make sure that this reason is indicated in the labor. This is necessary to obtain severance pay in accordance with the Order of the MO of July 11, 2002 N 265.

Child. In the clinic at the place of residence you should get a medical card and a vaccination form in your hands if the baby does not attend either kindergarten or school.

Kindergarten child. In the kindergarten, you also need to take a medical card and a vaccination form. A characterization of the child and a certificate stating that he was attending a kindergarten will not be superfluous (in some regions this certificate gives grounds for obtaining a place in a kindergarten without waiting in line). And you still need to solve the issue of payment: to obtain a certificate stating that “there are no debts” (if there is surplus money on the account, after a corresponding application they will be transferred to any other account of yours; for example, I transferred an overpayment of 500 rubles to my salary card) .

Schoolboy child. Here, in addition to the medical record and vaccination form, you should pick up a private matter. The characteristic again will not be superfluous. If a portfolio is being maintained for a child at school, it is advisable to get him in his arms.

Other documents. An extract from the personal account informing about the absence of debts on the rent, a medical record from the clinic.

Picking things up
This is the most time-consuming phase of the move. Some people prefer to leave or sell their things, and buy everything new in a new place. But if relocations happen often, few people go to this method of solving problems: most of them cannot afford to completely furnish an apartment every 2-3 years.

To pack things you will need:

· Boxes. You can buy them in StroyAresenal, OBI or ask in stores, but the cleanest and most accurate ones are in pharmacies. Boxes will need at least 30 (we, a family of 4 people, spend at least a hundred boxes in which we pack toys, dishes, interior items, furniture, books, etc.).

· Large plastic bags. It will require both trash and those that sell flour or sugar (you can buy them at a hardware store). We pack clothes, textiles, bedding in them, you can also shoes, if not sorry.

· Air bubble film for packing fragile items and equipment.

· Stretch film for packing upholstered furniture parts.

· Adhesive tape, twine.

We'll have to spend a lot of money on packaging: for example, in the last move, only one scotch tape took 1,500 rubles.

All furniture needs to be dismantled, especially if a Russian Railways container is chosen for transportation, otherwise a box with firewood will arrive at the new residence. And it will be more convenient for loaders: a large-sized cabinet risks not moving.

During transportation, the refrigerator, dishwasher and washing machines most often suffer. Dents, scratches, chips of enamel appear on them, so they need to be packed carefully (old blankets are great for this).

Each box should be numbered on all sides, and on a separate sheet of paper write in detail what lies in them. In a new place, this information is very useful.

Transportation
For short distances, things are transported by truck. It is unlikely that any of the transport companies will undertake delivery from Khabarovsk to Moscow in this way, and it will cost too much. Russian Railways will come to the rescue. True, there is one BUT: 3, 5-ton containers have been canceled since 2013, and only large 20-ton containers are offered for the transport of personal items. They are significantly more expensive, and the things in them "hang out", this must be taken into account when laying the goods in a container (evenly along the bottom, and not a bunch in one corner). By the way, you can drive a passenger car into a 20-ton container, and put things on a rack on top of it. This is what military men often do when they move from the Far East (cars are cheaper there) to the European part of Russia or to the Urals.
