Name change question

Soooooo.....I was totally against changing my name, but I am thinking about hyphenating. I'd still go by my maiden name professionally and I would really use my maiden name, but I think if I hypehnate on paper it would make FH happy and I think it would make life a little easier since I'd have the same (ish) last name as my kids.

If I elect to change my name on my marriage license, do i HAVE to then change it on my SS card, passport, and driver's license?

What is the process?

YES - do not change it on the license if you are not planning to change it everywhere. Its a legal document and once you change it there it is binding.
