Name Change...

I'm not understanding the whole name change thing. Do I change my name on the marriage certificate when I order it? Or is my maiden name on it and it grants me permission to change my name on other documents (ie driver's license, ss card, etc)
Thanks, JR

So you put your new name on the marriage certificate when you fill it out?
