In reply to the discussion: Texas refuses driver's license to female attorney because she didn't provide marriage license [View all]csziggy
(34,189 posts)65. When I got my Real ID the klutz behind the window didn't like my SS ID card
It was the only one I ever had, issued in the 1950s when I was a kid. I still have the larger card it was torn off, with a second copy still attached to that card. The 20 something clerk "had never seen a SS card like it" and would not believe it was real. Her supervisor had to come over and point out to her that my card was on the page they have posted next to the window that showed every variation of SS cards ever issued.
In my mind I was called her much worse names than "klutz."
On the other hand, they may have wanted the marriage license to prove that she had a relationship to the person whose bills she had brought in as proof of residency.

It may have been because she had nothing to prove her current address. Only her husband's address.

It says right in the OP that the husband did change his name to hers. They have the same last name.

sounds like it's about proof of residency. bringing bills in husband's name proves one thing:

She proved that someone else with the same last name as hers lived at that address.
