No. The marriage certificate is not sufficient. You must also obtain a court order permitting you to change your name. This extra step is made necessary by Mississippi's refusal to recognize legal marriages between persons of the same gender, even though it recognizes all other types of marriages, even if the parties would not be permitted to marry under Mississippi law.
