I'm starting a new job on Monday, and they need me to bring in my social security card to verify my eligibility for employment and make a photocopy of it for the IRS. However, I have 2 legal names, since I have an AKA on my certificate of naturalization. The last name is the same, but the first name is slightly different. The Social Security Administration has both names on file for the same social security number, as far as I can remember, because when I got my California Driver's License, the CA DMV requires that the name on the license and a name associated with the given SSN match. However, since my original name is still legal, they did not issue me a new card. On top of all of that, I file my taxes using the legal AKA name that isn't on my social security card.

I'm pretty certain that when they ran a pre-employment background check, the report found both aliases. Does it matter that my social security card has my original legal name and not my AKA that I currently use? Am I going to have problems when I go in on Monday?

Thanks for your help.

Oh yeah.. I forgot to add, my driver's license has my AKA name on it, not my original name.
