Hey there,
Can you share the exact domain that you registered? It sounds like the domain was registered through legalzoom. This means that you own the domain and that legal zoom is your Registrar (essentially, the company that manages the domain on your behalf).
If you want to use your domain with WordPress.com you will need to connect or transfer your domain. Connecting the domain links it up with WordPress.com so you can use the domain with your site, but the domain is still registered with legalzoom (your Registrar). Transferring the domain will move your registration from legalzoom to WordPress.com. Either way you will own your domain. Each domain will only have one registrar but can be connected to other services such as a website or email.
If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. This guide will help you choose whether to connect or transfer the domain.

Hope this helps!
