How to tell other people your real name?

I usually use a nickname e.g. John and other people know me as John. Lets say I want to inform another person about my real name (real name that is on my ID card), how do I say it?

My full name is Neram Smith.
My real name is Neram Smith.
My legal name is Neram Smith.
My ID name is Neram Smith.
My ID card name is Neram Smith.

Are the above correct?
Any other better suggestions?

Thanks

You can use any of yours.

I would say: My legal name is Neram Smith.
If you have not legally changed your name: My birth name is Neram Smith.
If you only want to give your first name: My given name is Neram, but I go by John.
My real name is Neram Smith.
