Name Change: The Right Paperwork?

I live in NJ and am going to be changing my married name back to my maiden name. I have my marriage certificate, my birth certificate, and my divorce decree. This seems to be sufficient to change it. However, I've come across reading online something called a "court order" which seems to be something that the court could have given me to make the name change that I could use with all the places I need to change it (license, passport, etc.). I didn't have the opportunity to get that - will the documents I have be good enough?
Also, what's the difference, if any, between notarized and certified copies? I have certified copies of my divorce decree, which may be an issue for getting my passport change if that's the same thing as notarized because their web site says they don't accept notarized copies.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
