Whether your name is in lower case or upper case on legal documents makes no significant difference.

Upper case or lower case has zero effect.

If a document is a binding document in other respects, whether or not your name is in all small letters, all capital letters or some mixture of the two will not be a factor that will invalidate the document. If the document is not binding, but merely informational, it will likewise remain an informational document.

Generally, such a difference in the type-set of a name is not relevant. Such documents would be binding if you are the intended party.
