I will be relocating to Belgium soon for work (long term visa). My wife will accompany me as a dependent. She will also look for job after few months.

She has new surname after marriage. Her passport has new surname and all her certificates (birth, degree + marksheets etc) have her old surname. Is this a problem for her getting a new job in Belgium?

What documents should she create/carry from India so that she will be able to work in Belgium?

No, this will not be a problem, its obvious that after marriage her family name is changed.
