If you’ve just tied the knot, updating your statutory records from single to married is probably one of the first things on your to-do list. It can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't sure where to start, so I’ve put together this guide to help you prep your requirements.
You can handle these updates yourself at the government agencies, or check with your Human Resources team to see if they offer assistance. In our company, HR handles the filing for us, but it’s always a good idea to ask your HR representative first if they provide that same service.
Here are the requirements and download links for the forms you'll need to get everything updated:
