Part V. Relocating Resources

Moving to another state or country rather than just across town? Here are some resources to help you.

Moving to another state

Start with the USA.gov site. This is a quick way to access any state’s home page. You will also find links to local governments and specific agencies. Many state government websites have detailed information for new residents.

In many areas, the web site of the local association of the National Association of REALTORS® has links to local real estate including the MLS. Use the Association Directory from realtor.org to locate one in your desired area.

Want to know more about the area? Check out the area newspapers. These sites can help you find them: NewsVoyager, US Newspaper List, and Home Town News. You can also use these city guides: Citysearch and USA Citylink.

Moving.org is the site of the American Moving and Storage Association. The site has lots of information such as Moving Terminology that will be helpful.

Moving International

A few sites to check out a country: CIA World Factbook, The Nations Online Project, and BBC News Country Profiles.

Guidelines for International Relocation from Allied International.

Living Abroad has lots of information from the U.S. Department of State.
