What to update?

[Jentobeharrison]

Hi so I'm asking again what are the things that my husband needs to update? He already updated council tax and water bills (putting my name on)
May I know what else should he indicate that he's married?

How about national insurance?

... the National Insurance number that he was allocated on starting work will remain his exclusively throughout his lifetime, Jen.

You will require to apply to your nearest Jobcentre Plus in order to obtain a separate one for yourself.

Thanks for that! I have read somewhere that if there's any changes (address, marital status) the person has to update his information in NI. Not actually the number. I'm confused now hahaha

He'll also need to check out (if he has them) private medical cover, life insurance, household insurance, pensions, next of kin contact stuff

[Jentobeharrison]

Does he have to update all of those ASAP? or can he do that anytime he wants to?

Sooner rather than later get it done and out of the way

Electric & gas bills. Get points cards from the supermarkets in your name. Join the local library. I take it you have registered with the NHS, if not go to the local surgery and ask.

When time comes to apply for ILR you will need evidence of you being together over the full period SO KEEP ALL LETTERS WITH YOUR NAME ON.

He said he's not bothered hahaha. What would be the effect of it if he won't update his status of NI and pension? He has those, he said. But he has no insurance etc

What do you mean update his status of NI?

"Not bothered" sounds infantile to me, you'd probably get nothing if he croaked. Not sure about what the effect of not updating NI is but they say they expect you to do it and I'd personally like to stay on the right side of HMRC

I think only the woman has to inform the HMRC about changes if she gets married and plans to use her married name.

Do you need to know if my circumstances change?

Yes. Please write to your nearest DWP office, Social Security office in Northern Ireland orInland Revenue office quoting your National Insurance number. Tell us what change has occurred and when it happened. For example:

If you are a woman you should tell us if you get married or become divorced or widowed.

If you move house, you need to tell us when you move and where you moved to. If you do not tell us when you move, we will not be able to keep your records up to date. This means that we will be unable to contact you if we need to; for example, if the NICs you paid in a tax year are not enough for that year to count for benefit purposes. We would normally write to let you know and to tell you how much you could pay in voluntary NICs to make that year count.

Also, when you are nearing State Pension age, we invite you to claim any basic State Pension you are entitled to. We cannot do this if we do not have your current address.
