Take Monday off if you have to and finish changing your name everywhere. It will take a couple of months before you start at your new job. You should have new documents with your new name by then.

You need to tell HR you are in the process of changing your name and if necessary take a day to finish doing paperwork and such so things aren’t in limbo. I changed my name a year into my marriage - after the birth of my first child - right as I changed jobs.

As HR or the person handling your onboarding.

How quickly can you rum to the DMV and change your driver's license? You usually need license + SS card, or passport. Passport obviously takes longer, but DMV may be able to give you a provisional license, so I'd focus on that. Bring your marriage certificate for your first day too in case they're dubious.
