    Getting married is not a change of circumstances that needs to be reported because you're already living together. If you weren't previously living together then it would be different. She can report her name change if she wants to but it's not vital.

    Welcome to the community! I hope you'll find it a friendly and helpful place to be. If you have any questions, just ask away :)
