Divorced, Widowed, or Single?

I was looking at my auto policy which came yesterday, and saw my marital status on the document is 'divorced.' I've had the same insurance company for over 20 years, so there was a time when I was with them that I was married. I never requested to have the status changed in the 18 years since I was divorced, so I guess that's why it's still reads 'divorced.'

If you've been married and no longer are, whether due to divorce or losing a spouse (to death, not misplacing them), what do you put on legal documents that ask for marital status?

For me, after a few years being divorced, I just began choosing 'single' and have been ever since. Mainly because I don't plan on that status ever changing again.

I think that in this legal context, "single" means you've never been married.
I'm not sure whether that classification is a calculation in insurance policies though.

The fact that the insurance company makes note of your status strongly suggests that they do, indeed use that data in calculating premiums...

Yes. Having been married might suggest a tendency towards stability, and therefore lower risk-taking, at least statistically.

I'm forever "single", even though I've had intense romantic relationships with more than one person, but that obviously doesn't count.
