To obtain a legal pen name, simply start using it as your author name. You can then trademark the name for additional protection if you wish. Ensure your pen name is not already in use to avoid any legal issues.

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.
