Per Wizarding World (formerly Pottermore), Ron’s full name is Ronald Bilius Weasley. And he uses his family name Ron Weasley? I recognize that even the first time he met Harry, he called himself "Ron" and not "Ronald":
Ron: Excuse me, do you mind? Everywhere else is full.
Harry: No, not at all.
Ron: {sits across from Harry} I’m Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley.
I only remember when Ron gets a Howler in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, we find out that his real name was Ronald.
So did Ron ever mention his full name anywhere?
Textually, we learn that Ron is short for Ronald in the middle of the first book, when Dumbledore and Harry speak about the Mirror of Erised.
‘Yes and no,’ said Dumbledore quietly. ‘It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them.
And it's not until book 7 that we learn his full name.
‘“The Last Will and Testament of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore” … yes, here we are … “to Ronald Bilius Weasley, I leave my Deluminator, in the hope that he will remember me when he uses it.”’
At no point does he ever introduce himself as Ronald, although his teachers and parents use the name repeatedly.

The first time the name "Ronald" is spoken is in the first movie, when Professor McGonagall calls him up to be sorted into his house.
According to the movie scripts, he never introduces or refers to himself as Ronald.
