For transgender people, there can be a range of identity documents that you may want to change so that they properly reflect your gender and name. Here are some of the most common areas where people may want to amend their documents. Most government and private agencies will only change your records if you have received an updated birth certificate, name change certificate, or Recognised Details Certificate. This fact sheet applies to adults (18 years and over) who want to change their identity documents. If a child wishes to change their documents, some links are provided in this document for information, but it is important that the child and their parent/guardian seek support and legal advice.
This fact sheet sets out the law about when and how transgender young people under the age of 18 can access hormonal and medical treatment to help them to transition to their affirmed gender. This is general information, and should not be taken as a substitute for legal advice tailored to your particular circumstances.
