I want to obtain a legal alias that is completely different from my current name.?
I have my legal name John Spencer, and I wish to obtain the alias of Scott Armstrong.
What are the legel procedures I would have to go through to do this? I have been searching for answers all morning and I have turned up "Just do it".
I am planning on moving out of the state to start a new life. The next step for me is to get a new name, but I still want the option to come home with my old name.
Where do I start and how do I do this?

The only way to have a legal name that is not on your birth certificate is to have it legally changed in court.
There is no legal way to get a "fake" name. That's why it's called an "alias".

I must respectfully disagree with the previous poster.
You can call yourself anything you want as long as it isn't for illegal or deceitful.
You don't need a court order a change in your birth certificate as long as your activities are legal.

if they aren't, the previous poster is correct. Now you have an alias and a warrant out in the state of Iowa.

It is illegal to live under an assumed name.Don't believe me ? Try it.Besides,what are you running away from ? Are you wanted ? Is your name on a no fly list ? Are you banned from getting cable TV ? Do you have outstanding debts ? Is the mother of your 8 children wanting child support ? Whats up ?
