Claude: Moving & Official Paperwork

Book the nearest passport office and get reminders set up with Claude

Leonardo Stenico needed to renew a passport at the closest office. Claude checked the distances from home on Google Maps and booked the nearest office in Stenico's browser, then gave a pre-appointment to-do list. When Stenico asked for reminders, it ran a script to add them to macOS Reminders.

Plan an international family move in three weeks with a Claude project, and have it build the Notion tracker and calendar reminders

Iliyana Stareva had three weeks to move a family of four from Spain back to the Netherlands. They opened a Claude project called "Move Back to the Netherlands", gave it their history, details about their kids and what was already sorted (they still had Dutch bank accounts and a phone number), and asked for a full plan covering housing, schools and childcare, moving both cars, taxes and municipality paperwork. In five minutes the plan surfaced a few things they had forgotten. Claude then built a tracker in Notion with owner, deadline and category for each task plus a "this week" view, and put key dates into Google Calendar, including a call to the municipality. Some items didn't apply and some deadlines moved once checked against their work calendar, so they spent ten more minutes adjusting it.

Catch a passport-validity problem five days before a Europe trip by asking Claude what else to do pre-trip

Sarah Silbert was using Claude to choose checked luggage for a trip to Germany and asked, almost as an afterthought, what else needed doing before the trip. Among the obvious items, Claude said to check the passport had three months of validity past the return date. It didn't: it expired about two months after the return flight, one month short, five days before departure. Inside the 14-day window for an urgent passport agency appointment, Silbert got a slot the next day, paid the $60 expedite fee and picked up a new passport the following day, using the State Department website as the official source.

Handle life admin after moving abroad with Claude: a mystery fridge alert, a tax-office letter and an insurance-app doctor chat

Nine months after moving a family of four from Connecticut to near Madrid, Rebecca Cretella uses Claude to handle daily life in a new language. In a few weeks it helped troubleshoot a flashing freezer indicator on the fridge in under a minute, chat with a doctor through the family's insurance app when a son came home with a hematoma, translate bloodwork results, and understand an audit letter from Spain's tax authority about a package a neighbour had sent.

Organize a Spanish visa renewal and fill the forms with Claude and Claude in Chrome

For a Spanish visa renewal, the poster set up a bureaucracy folder with Claude, fed in the family's information, had Claude verify documents, then used Claude in Chrome to fill the online forms faster and more accurately than checking by hand.
