There is an order to moving in California. I hope my experience can help you.

The first thing to do is set up internet and utilities. The main internet service provider in Victorville is Spectrum.

Before signing a contract, it's a good idea to check the service coverage for your address and schedule the installation in advance of your move. You can apply for electricity service online with Southern California Edison (SCE), and for gas, you can contact SoCalGas. Both can be applied for on their websites. The outcome is more important than the theory. You won't realize how frustrating it is to be in a house without internet on moving day until you experience it yourself.

Transferring your driver's license and vehicle registration is also important. When moving to California, you need to convert your license at the California DMV. If you're coming from another state, you are required to report within 10 days of arrival.

Your vehicle also needs to be registered in California, and sometimes a Smog Check may be required during this process. If you're changing cars after moving, using a local dealership in Victorville may offer benefits like local sales tax advantages. Families with children should prioritize school registration.

Depending on the Victor Valley Union High School District (high school) and local elementary school district, you should check the school district before moving and contact the school to prepare registration documents to align with the start of the new school year. It's also a good idea to establish a primary care physician and dentist in advance. Finding clinics connected to Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center or a local family doctor can be useful.

You'll also need to establish a shopping routine. Korean groceries can be hard to find in Victorville. Set a shopping routine to go to Rancho Cucamonga (H Mart) or Fontana (99 Ranch) once or twice a week. For general grocery shopping, there are Costco, Stater Bros, and Walmart in the area, so you won't have any issues. To put it kindly, if you follow this list in order, the first month will be much less difficult. This is a tip based on experience.
