I started the change of name process 9 months after I got married since I wanted to get the whole immigration thing over with first. All I did was start at the SSA office to change my SS and then called all other places to find out what they need so they could change my name.

Right after my marriage here in US I started using my spouse surname on sending mails and for applications .I always bring along with me our marriage certificate, birth certificate,and passport for further verifications. I am divorce so I bring also my divorce decree cert. . So whenever I go to apply forms I always check my stuffs if its complete. I made a photo copy of everything and put it in my bag where ever I go for convenience. I still have my married name before in my passport,but having all those documents can easily used my current married name.I still have no I.D yet indicating my current married name,but credit cards and ATMs can use for verification.
