Hi everyone,

I just got married last week in Philadelphia. I wonder how can I change my last name after my husband? The marriage certificate has my last name before married. If someone gets married in Philadelphia, please give me a guide. Thank you.

Here's a link to the process. But you basically just use your marriage certificate and start changing your SS card and ID's based on the marriage. Pennsylvania is a state that doesn't officially record the name change with marriage, but assumes you'll go around and change your ID's if you want it to change.

It's not that easy in pa. I could get my name changed on ss card after I showed them my ead combo card.

If you need a state Id you should be okay once you have a pending aos application. DMV will verify with dhs and issue you an ID
