NEWCOMERS
 Relocating
to a new area can cause both excitement and anxiety at the same
time. We often take for granted the simple things of everyday life
- like knowing where to go to get electric service established,
knowing where the best restaurants are located, knowing the best
routes to transport our kids to and from school in the morning and
evening, and knowing what telephone and internet services are available
for the city and the county.
RECOMMENDED DOCUMENTS:
When securing new services, such as electricity, water, phone, etc.,
be prepared by having the following documents on hand:
- Current Driver License
- Children's Birth Certificate
- Children's Immunization Records
- Social Security Cards (Yours and Your Children's)
- Proof of Automobile Ownership and Insurance
