If, by "alias" you mean nickname or professional name, then the answer is no. "Copyright" doesn't apply to names of individuals or organization.

If the alias is used in a professional or business capacity (such as a radio personality's on-air name), then it is possible to Trademark that name. This does not prevent anyone else from USING the name in everyday life, however. Rather, it protects the trademark holder in the even someone attempts to use the name in a capacity that violates the trademark.

(in the US) There is no such thing as a "legal" alias.

Individuals and corporations may use officially registered company names under which they choose to conduct business (e.g.: The XYZ Company DBA [doing business as] the QST Corporation - OR - John Q Jones DBA [doing business as] the Dreamworld Company).

However individuals in their day-to-day activities may not use 'alias' names to cloud their official and legally known identity.

Can you legally have two names?

It depends on the state you live in. In my home state of Indiana, you can have a legal name and an alias. By using the alias to sign documents and by "owning" the name (aka using it to identify yourself) it becomes a legal name in the same manner that "possession is 90% of the law". If you use it, it becomes a legal name for you, much like a pen name.

Can you sign a legal document with an alias?

The answer depends on the details and circumstances. It depends on the type of document. Generally, you would cause problems by signing a "legal" document with an alias. Consider the following:The other party to the document may encounter difficulties proving that it was you who signed. The document would lose its legal effect if it cannot be proven that you signed it.If the document is a contract, and you breach it, it may be unenforceable in court if the other party cannot prove it was you who signed it.Prudent parties to any legal document usually require proof of identity and authority for any party who signs, usually a valid driver's license.Signing a legal document using an alias instead of your legal name would be an indication of possible fraud. Using an alias is often done to avoid responsibility.A "sworn" statement cannot be signed using an alias.Official documents must remain in the name given at birth, marriage or legal name change.An alias cannot be used in legal court proceedings.You must use your legal name in all dealings with the government.Many legal documents must be notarized. A notary would require official proof of identity such as a valid driver's license or birth certificate or passport.
