  I was able to use just the part that we had.  It was really a simple/fast thing!

  I was required to have the official stamp on mine when I went to SS. And for the new driver's license as well. But I received my license right after our honeymoon, so it didn't take very long.

  I didn't even try until we got the certified copy. We also had it when we got home from our mini-moon, so it was not a big deal at all. You also need to wait 48 hours between going to SS and then to the MVD to process the name change.

  thanks! That's fast so did you mail in the bottom half of the license and they just mailed you the certified copy? I thought it would take weeks to get the certified copy!

  I was told by both our officiant and the lady at the court when we applied for our license that you do have to have a certified copy.  This is also from the SS website regarding name changes for marriage:
  
  "We can only accept an original or certified copy of a marriage or divorce document."
