Iirc when my wife changed her name, you start with the ssa to get a new Social Security card. Then you can start your driver's license and passport and such.

I don't think courts are involved in name changes due to marriage.

SSA is the answer. The courts only get involved if an adult is changing their name for something that isn't marriage or divorce, and that's to make sure you aren't changing it for nefarious reasons like to evade prosecution or debtors.
