    I'm not sure if you will be able to change the birth certificate, because that is the name she was given at birth... but I may be wrong.

    The rest you just do the same as when you change your name. You will need to file for a new social security card, present her birth certificate with you and the father listed, and also bring your marriage certificate. That will get her name changed legally... but just like you don't have your birth certificate changed when you get married, I don't think you will be able to get her birth certificate changed.
