My legal name I don't use so it doesn't match on my bank

I have always gone by a nickname derived from my middle name. I'm not comfortable going through my legal first name. Also going through a divorce so my legal lastname hasn't been updated yet. The documents surrounding this issue lead to community discussions as a manual name review. Please help!

 

Thank you!

You will need to have your profile in your full legal name for ID verification anyway, so you might as well change it now, to whatever your full legal name is as per your bank account and passport / government issued ID.
