Yes. In New Zealand, you can do so through deed poll, but must be at least of the age of majority to do so.

In the United States a person can file a request for a name change at the local family and probate court at eighteen years of age.

How do you show proof of marital status without or marriage certificate or name change?

Merely having the same last name as your spouse is only informal proof that you are married. It is not legal proof that you are married. Many people do not change their last names anymore. The only legal proof of marriage is a marriage certificate. In certain very rare instances, you may be able to substitute sworn affidavits of persons who attended your wedding. One example would be a refugee in extraordinary circumstances. Otherwise, you will be expected to obtain a copy of your marriage certificate.

Can a woman give her ex-husbands last name to her same-sex partner?

Yes, in states that recognize same-sex marriage, any time (even years) after the marriage, either or both parties to the marriage may change his or her last name to that of the other spouse or a combination of both names using the original certificate of marriage as a legal name change document. If the woman used her ex-husband's name on the marriage license (and therefore it appears on the certificate), then her wife CAN legally adopt that last name and both women will bear the name of the first woman's ex-husband. PS: The word "partner" is not an appropriate term when speaking of married persons. If you are speaking of changing names without marriage, then that must be done by petition and court order. The issue, then, is within the discretion of the judge who handles your name change petition.
