Update: I got my new card already!

I had to change my name on my Social Security card. I had to fill out an application online, then schedule an appointment, which turned out to be three weeks out. When I got there, they searched my things and verified my appointment. i waited for about 2 min past my appointment time until I was called in. I had brought copious paperwork, but all they wanted to see was my divorce decree and my ID. I was out of there in 10 minutes. I was surprised at how painless it was.

I just thought I'd let you all know in case you're dreading a visit to the SS Office. At least in my area, it worked well.
