IMNAL, I just google a lot. If you fill out a Trade Name Application, that approval seems to be the way to give sole proprietors a business alias.
http://www.azsos.gov/business_services/Forms/TNT/TN_apptn.pdf >From my brief read on the internet, it looks similar to Texas' DBA (Doing Business As) process for sole proprietors. When I lived in TX, I was able to use my DBA to open a business bank account, etc. My guess is Apple would accept it as well. My other guess, same would *likely* be true for an approved Trade Name Application.
