I don't have a "legal name". Sounds like some sovcit bullshit. I go by several names, none of which is canonical. Maybe other countries formalize this idea, but the countries where I am a citizen/resident do not.

I love that email OTP is good enough for this, but apparently not for anything else, where I'll need an approved verified secure attested super official app.
- charcircuit 1y ago>I don't have a "legal name". Sounds like some sovcit bullshit. Considering every country has passports and passports all have the person's legal name on them. And thst the passport standard only supports having one name with a primary and secondary identifier. You must be mistaken.
- BlueTemplar 1y agoThey might have several different passports from different countries. It's also fairly common for instance for women to have multiple names from their marriage(s).
- charcircuit 1y agoUse the same name as the identification you are submitting. It's not that complicated.
- immibis 1y agoNot everyone has a passport. And people with strange or no name may have passports with names that are not theirs.
- charcircuit 1y agoBut it does mean that the country has a way of picking a name to use on one.
