Now I'm Married who do I need to tell?

Hi all,

I'm recently married... Now for me there is no name change :beer:, but for the wife it's a different matter.

Anyway, main question is, Who do we need to inform (and how)?

I presume:
* Work (obviously)
* Insurance companies
* Banks & CC companies

but who else?

We assume most will require a copy of the Marriage Certificate.

Anyway thanks in advance,

Tom

    You don't need to, just don't get married and keep it simple.

    Just beware that when you update your passport it'll mean a new one at a acost of £77.50! :eek: Took me a year to decide it was worth doing and I could spare that amount...

    Don't forget other things such as shares, student loans if she has them.
