verbs - "Has changed since March 1" vs "Changed on March 1"



My address has changed since March 1. The new address is now 123 Mapple Street.



Is the verb tense in “has changed” correct in this case?


If the action is completed, it seems like it should be:



My address changed on March 1.



"Since" seems to imply a continuous state, not a one-time action, so something like:



I have a new address since March 1.
