The procedure whereby a woman changes her surname to (or from) that of her husband can vary considerably from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In some cases it is done informally; in others it might require a court appearance.

For a start, inquire at the local office that issues marriage licenses.

Once you obtain your marriage license (don't lose it!) use it to change your name on the following pieces of identification in the US:

- Driver's License

- Social Security Card

- Passport

- Credit Cards

- Bank Accounts
