    She needs proof that she lives where she lives (a utilities bill) and the marriage certificate.  She may need to go to SS office first to change her name.
    It's time. Adoption saving and process started in November 2012.

    Agree with pp.  She DOES need to go to SS office first and then DMV, although I've heard that some DMVs don't require a SS card with the new name  and only need the marriage license. However, I wouldn't waste the time to find out.  I'd go to SS office, apply for new card, get new SS card and then go to DMV

    You actually don't have to go to the SS office first but you do need to bring your SS card with. I just changed my name at the DMV a couple weeks ago with my old SS card, photo ID (used my passport or you can use a current license), utility bill and of course the marriage license!
