Beginning October 2014, a marriage certificate (including that of a same-sex couple) is sufficient proof of legal name change under Virginia state law. This is true whether you were married in Virginia or outside of Virginia and whether you were married before or after same-sex marriage was legalized in Virginia. You need only present the marriage certificate to government agencies, businesses, etc. as proof your new name. The federal government will also accept your marriage certificate as proof of name change.

Often people think that it is the location of the marriage, which can be totally wrong. In fact, the marriage does not change your name whatsoever, it just gives you the ability to do it easier.
