More details to this question:
I got married in fresno, california on 3/17/2014. I declined changing my last name at the time, but now I've changed my mind. Social Security changed my name without any problems, but DMV and the County Clerk's office stated that I have to go thru the court because I didn't sign the marriage license on the new marriage certificate form line 30B. Now my social security card and driver's license names don't match.

You will need a legal name change in order to match all the names. The name change petition must be filed and publicized for one month. You will then have a hearing and the name change is usually granted. There are times when a name change is not granted, mainly due to a criminal record.
