Bring your passport as well, in case they ask for another ID.

Yes, bring your marriage certificate too for proof of name change.

I was never asked for mine when I went to apply for SSN. But as Hypnos advised above, best to bring it as well, so you'll have everything with you on your 1st SSA visit.

I was asked for my birth certificate. I was not asked for my passport, although obviously I took it with me.

I just took my binders full of women everything and gave them what they wanted from that.

Thanks! So I have my UK passport (in my maiden name), marriage certificate, birth certificate, Green Card and my old work permit even though I don't use it, it hasn't expired though. Will that be enough?

EDIT: and the form, of course!

Thank you for the excellent advice on applying for SS number. We went there with Candy's K-1, the I-94 arrival record and the SS-7 form filled out, and the whole process went as smooth as silk.
