Use of legal name and name change
Ask a Lawyerwhat's this?
Question
Country: United States of AmericaState: Kansas
I have had my name changed legally by a judge in a court of law. My question is when applying for employment in a secure job am I required to give my old name or only my legal name? I am getting conflicting stories from different people. I am job searching and feel that I am being discriminated against because of this. One potential employer states I only have to give my current legal name. Yet others state I am required to give all names I have ever used.

Only your current name unless they ask otherwise--These questions and answers are provided by WORLDLawDirect.com. ©2000 - 2007 by WORLDLawDirect.com, Inc.
