Name Change

[Tattoo]

Hi All
I'm new here but have been reading the posts for some months now
I'm finalizing my application for citizenship but have one question

My Corp is Mary Ann Jones Smith
My PR card the same
But I want to drop the Jones
My passport is in Mary Ann Smith
My marriage certificate also Mary Ann Smith

So basically, I want to drop the Jones ( previous married name )
Smith is my birth name

Will my marriage certificate with just Smith be acceptable or do I need a legal name change in order to drop " jones " I didn't take my husbands last name

Hope this makes sense !!!!
