You can't get the name changed on line as Social Security needs to see original documents or certified copies proving your name change. In your case this would be a certified copy of your marriage liscence you can take this in to the social security office in your area or mail it in.To get the location of office in you area or the mailing address and the needed forms go to www.ssa.gov

Form required is at this URL: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5fs.pdf Make sure you have required proof. I had to go a second time because I had marriage cert, but didn't have picture ID with my maiden name to prove I was the owner of the SSN. (I changed my driver's license first.)

It's not a certified copy of your marriage license, it's a certified copy of your marriage certificate. (A marriage license is what you obtain to get married, a certificate is your legal document received after the ceremony.
