Go to the SS office, then the RMV

to SS first and have it changed there. You then go to the registry to change your name. RMV looks things up by SS# some places are able to do same day, depends on the clerk. For credit cards you have to call, no proof needed of the marriage, just that it's you calling. Work will want to see your new SS card before changing your name, however, you can change your benefits right away - you only have 30 days to make changes otherwise you have to wait til reenrollment. Bank just wanted new license, however, if you already have a joint account you both need to re sign so go together. voter registration gets changed with your license i believe everyone else you just call. if you have a professional license with Mass, you can download the form from the mass.gov site to mail in with your $$. i havent changed my passport yet so no info on that....
