Call the mortgage company. Your spouse is likely going to have to pass a credit check and yoru loan documents will need to be updated. Expect to pay a processing fee.

Contact the company you make monthly payments to. They will direct you. Also, notify the county for property tax records.

If you have a mortgage in your name, the only way to add your spouse is to have the mortgage rewritten, naming both of you as responsible parties. At this point, the home is yours and is not considered joint property

It is easier to add your spouse to the title, go to your courthouse, and they will guide you. To add to the mortgage, you will have to consult your lender and may need to basically have your mortgage re-written with their financial information.

You will have to contact the lender of your mortgage. They are the only ones that can do this. It may require refinancing.
