You have to have your signed and sealed marriage license (ML) after the wedding. The officiant will send it to whereever he/she has to send it, then you'll get official copies back in the mail. Usually about a week later if it's sent out right after your wedding.
Start at the DMV. All you have to bring is your current license and a copy of your marriage license. It's easier to work with the Social Security office and other agencies if your license is switched - but have a copy of your marriage license with you just in case. (The ML will probably suffice at Social Security if you don't want to wait for your new license, but it'll save you a headache.)
So - DMV, then Social Security office. Both of these will help with the other places you'll have to change it like:
Passport
• Post Office
• IRS
• Voter Registration (usually taken care of by Drivers license or post office)
• Banks
• Credit Cards
• Doctors
• Insurance Companies
• Clubs
• Memberships
• Employer
• Retirement plans
You'll also need to adjust any legal documentation:
• Will
• Health Care Proxy
• Living Will
• Trust
• Power of Attorney
• Contracts
