Human Factors
Had HAZMAT (hazardous material) added to flight; received the NOTAC (notice to Captain) form; signed a copy and gave it to the Ops Agent; forgot to amend the Release and add the HAZMAT notation to the Release. Dispatch contacted us en route; at that time we both remembered the new policy that HAZMAT must be noted on the Dispatch Release.
B737-700 Captain reported flight departure without amended Dispatch release stating Hazmat cargo on board.
