On the one hand, the person must prepare several documents, in particular a certified copy of the marriage certificate from the county clerk or the California Department of Public Health.

My fiancé and I want to take his mother`s maiden name as our new surname. Does my fiancé have to change his name with a court order, or can it be done on the marriage certificate if his current 2nd middle name (his mother`s maiden name) will be our new last name?
