Billy vs William on birth certificate and other docs.

[mountainmath52]

My name is Billy on birth certificate and William on everything else. Getting ready to retire. Will this cause problems and if so, what is the best fix?

Probably not if it hasn't caused a problem so far.

Is it Billy for Social Insecurity and MediScare or William?

It matters only to them.

As far as your other sources of income, use the name they know you by.
