flyttedatoen

Flyttedatoen is a term used in some Dutch-language and Scandinavian contexts to refer to the planned date of a move—the date on which a person relocates from one residence to another or when a shipment is relocated. The word is formed from flytte (to move) and dato/datum (date). In standard Dutch, the most common term is verhuisdatum; in Norwegian and Swedish, flyttedato or flyttdatum are more typical. As such, flyttedatoen is relatively rare in formal writing and often appears in bilingual documents, moving-service materials, or as a calque from neighboring languages.

Usage and contexts

Flyttedatoen is primarily relevant in housing, administration, and logistics. It commonly appears on rental or purchase agreements, mail-forwarding instructions, and records of household relocation. The date can determine when occupancy transfers, when rent liability starts or ends, and when utilities and services should be established at the new address.

Determining the date

Coordinating a reliable flyttedatoen involves several steps:

- Check lease terms, notice periods, and any required move-out or move-in dates.

- Confirm access to the old and new premises, including elevator reservations if applicable.

- Schedule movers or rental equipment and choose a concrete moving day and time.

- Arrange utilities, internet, and service installations for the new address.

- Update the address with the postal service, banks, authorities, employers, and other institutions.
