We used the married name while filling out the AOS and following papers. They sometimes ask for the maiden name on the forms but not often.

When you got married it gave you a "free card' so to speak, you are free to use your maiden name, married name or hyphen it and use both, all are legal.

If you choose to use your married name (as I did) then be sure to put your maiden name in the box for "other names used"

At least in Massachusetts, that is not quite true. At the time you are married in MA, you have the option of changing your name, but you must change it legally (this can be done easily on the marriage license form). If you decide later, you have to do the paperwork to make the change.
