## Preparing for your move

Having a clear plan is the key to a stress-free experience. Once your contract is signed, it is time to tackle the administrative tasks.

When moving to Mölndal, updating your address with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) is essential. This ensures your mail arrives correctly and that you are officially registered in your new municipality.
