Hi,
I don't want to change my actual name. But I want to have a legal alias that I can use on legal documents etc. for example on my drivers license etc I want to be called let's say John Smith but my legal name is still Sam Thompson and I can still say that yes I am Sam Thompson but I'm always referred to by my alias John Smith. So is there a way to have a legal alias.

No. Helps reduce the number of times dishonest people take advantage of others.
