    In most areas yes you can, but it will not "clear" any record, your previous criminal history will still show up under your new ID.

    Also if and when finger print checks are done, your record will show all names ever used
    *** legal changes or just fake names used.

    Hello m:

    Sure you can. There's a legal procedure you have to go through, and felons are citizens too.

    Go dogs.
