The relocation process - Registration and file initiation

As soon as you know you will be posted and before your posting instruction arrives:

• Read the CFIRP directive
• Find out who your CFIRP coordinator is on your base
• Ensure you know the geographical boundaries of your new place of duty

Within 21 days of receipt of posting instruction:

• Register on the BGRS website using info exactly as it appears on your posting message
• Create your email ID and password for your Member Secure Website (MSW)
• Ensure you select the proper "Move Type", for example: Posting, Release, Unaccompanied
• You will be guided through the steps to complete your Preliminary Relocation Assessment
• Book your planning session
• Watch the virtual information presentation on "Navigating Your Move Profile"
• Ensure your banking information is entered so funds (advances and claim payments) may be sent electronically to your account
• Familiarize yourself with the BGRS website and review the videos provided

Note: It may take up to a week from the date the posting or release message is cut before a file is generated in BGRS’ system. BGRS is not authorized to serve a CAF member without a file in their system. If you still are unable to register after one week, request assistance through your CFIRP coordinator.
