Moved house? Tell city hall within 14 days or risk your My Number card

You must file your change of address at city hall within 14 days of moving. One resident was a single day late and had their My Number card invalidated (hole-punched), costing a re-application and a month-plus wait.

Check first: Residents only. What happens when you're late may vary by municipality; the 14-day rule is national.
