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.
