Make sure the moving company you use has a license before hiring.
• State regulator: You can verify a North Dakota moving license and its status on the state regulator's official website.

• Change of address: We recommend submitting your change of address form with USPS at least a week prior to your move. You can set an official move date on the form so that all your mail will get properly forwarded to North Dakota. Get started here.
• Mover's insurance: Interstate moving companies are required under federal law to provide basic insurance — also called “released value protection” — free of charge to all moving customers.
