Q: Earlier in an email you asked me if you should file in the name, Edware Tom Jones or Edware Tom Jones Surnameofmom. My question for you is: since my birth certificate says Edware Tom Jones Surnameofmom but my Social Security Card says Edware Tom Jones, which one should I file it under? Could I do both to be safe? Will it cost extra?

R: I would suggest you go with the birth certificate version for the SA and PN and if Edware Tom Jones is the name you go by then do the UCC1 using it as the primary name and Edware Tom Jones Surnameofmom. Which is the primary would be the one people are most likely to look you up under. Hope that helps. Call me if you wish and we can discuss it so that you have the opportunity to get a better handle on it.
