Question is it possible to put your name on a legal document and mispell it and it still will ahve lgeal standing and validity?
eg: to shorten the name?
anglicize it
americanize it
spell it differently
but it still is similar to the original
or
use interchangeable letters eg switch b and v , or c and k?
or even h and k (if there r variant spellings that do that)
or to use an americanized variant of the anme?
but in all cases the name is not quite the same as on your drivers license or passoport or even birth certificate
what if its like the name on your birth certificate but not the other id?
what if u use a middle name instead?(agian, not found on your D.l.)
or a nickname?
or your D.l. ahs your ethnic first name and u use your english name?
but all the other questions pertain mainly to last names
Answer Thank you for your question!
Mediators act as neutral third parties to disputes and never "get involved" in judging the merits of conflict, but merely use special techniques to help the parties decide how to negotiate their own settlement.
I am not a lawyer and cannot give you an answer to your question I'm afraid, though my sense is that courts deal with "alias" names all the time and are more likely to deal with the truth of the matter rather than get hung up on a technicality when identities are clear.
For your information, the pros and cons of the types of dispute resolution methods follows.
GOOD LUCK!
Arbitration, Mediation, and Litigation

It's a compromise, no 0 winner
Complex arbitration can be costly
If not satisfied, may litigate the arbitration procedure
Poor results with an unskilled arbitrator
