If a woman chooses to take her husband's surname (it is not legally required in any US state); she first needs to authorize a name change petition. Submit it to the County Clerk (or Probate, wherever is deemed appropriate in your State). After approval of name change and a court hearing (if needed) you will be granted a Order of Granted Name Change. Then you can proceed to the DMV (to change driver's license), Passport, and social security office. It is also recommended you go to your bank and other institutions where your name should be changed.

Yes, you can file a legal name change for any reason, as long as it isn't to take the legal name of someone famous. You can change your name to his last name without being married. It is just cheaper court costs if you were married.
