register it legally somehow.My birth certificate says name different than name registered with social security. how do i use an aka?
The state goes by your Social Security Administration information. You would need to contact your local social office and follow their steps to legally change your name. It's a process. You can find more information on their website:

Because the laws are tightening because of illegal immigration and the rise in identity fraud it's a good time to look into doing this. It's only going to get harder as the years go on.

Hope this helps...
