Name Change
I currently have the time and the
money needed to change my first
name, so I want to do it now. my
question is can i use both name
concurrently? I don't want to go
through the hassle of changing all
my military records yet, but I want to
transfer over everything else.
Re: Name Change
You can use both names simultaneously for most purposes unless (a) the intent, or (b) the result of your use of both names is a fraud on someone.
Don't ask me who would object, or where you can't use the unofficial name; I don't know. I'd be sure to use your legal name on anything permanent, like a deed or an application for disability.
Otherwise, just avoid confusing anyone where the result might be an allegation of fraud or attempted fraud against you.
