Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

pseudonyms

If you publish (through a self-publishing company) a book (self-help) under a pseudonym (actually, correct first name with maiden last name), how can you legitimately obtain identification in the pseudonym so you can travel (purchase and use airline tickets, book hotel rooms, etc.) to promote the book? (I do not want to do a legal name change. I am married and want to continue using my married name in my daily life.)
