Human Factors
I was provided with two NOTOC forms late in the boarding process which I reviewed and signed. I kept a copy of each and OPS kept a copy of each. Distracted by a delay in boarding bags; I forgot to verify a NOTOC statement in the remarks section of the Dispatch Release per FOM. The error was realized once airborne when Dispatch contacted us to verify we had the NOTOC. We communicated with Dispatch; amended our release; and asked them to communicate with ZZZ Operations to add the pen and ink change to the release as well.
B737-800 Captain reported not completing the Hazmat procedure requirement to verify NOTOC prior to departure.
