Gender Recognition Certificate UK

[Tills]

Hi everyone. I received confirmation yesterday that my GRC (Gender Recognition Certificate) bundle is complete. It was submitted six weeks ago but they then had to match up my deadname birth certificate with the application.

I understand that they only meet twice a year so who knows how long this is going to take.

There's also no guarantee that it will be granted. That's purely because the (ludicrous) amount of supporting documentation has to tick different boxes and they can find fault with almost anything e.g. a missing utility bill from two years ago.

Anyway, hopefully I will receive it from the gatekeepers and then it's a question of what it means now in the UK. I'm actively considering moving to the Republic of Ireland where self-certification is permitted.

That's a huge step forward, congrats on getting your GRC application bundle complete! I've heard from others that the waiting period can feel like forever, especially with the panel only meeting a couple of times a year. It's frustrating how much documentation they ask for and how technical they can be about it.
