If your NIF has your marital status as single, can you easily update this to married?

If so, do you just need to upload a copy of the marriage certificate (marriage is outside of Portugal and not yet registered in Portugal).

When you update your marital status, you will be asked to authenticate your spouse's NIF too.

So if my spouse does not have a NIF, does a separate application for her need to be done or it can be applied for at the same time that I update my marital status?

Marital status is only relevant for declaring annual income (IRS). If you are not a tax resident in Portugal you do not need to make this change. If you do, you must indicate to whom you are married, and your spouse must have a NIF.

As this does not apply to you, you should forget this update.
