I have just got married to a Ukrainian woman, and she has her LTR.

I am unsure about what to do next - does she need a NI number? She doesn't intend to work.

I need to know if I need to do anything to ensure we both get the maximum state pension possible. I have a full employment record.

Thanks

Thanks, I have read that. I suppose my most basic question is do I have to inform anybody or register in any way. Other than our marriage certificate, the UK government doesn't even know she exists!

Or is just being married to me enough?

Why don't you contact the pension service for advice?
