I want to change my birthcertificate!

[SomeMTF]

So is the issue. I would like to do that but the officials say no. After SRS I have a plan to change my birthcertificate.

Sadly yes sweetie, most places that do allow gender marker changes only allow it after SRS.

It depends on the state and their regulations.  I got mine changed after my orchi

And some places will not allow it to be changed no matter what, and at that, its only an amended cert.  The original does not change as its impossible to go in and change microfilm that is decades old.

You need to check your local laws.

And where is that, if you don't mind?  I'd have the orchie done in a heartbeat. Well ok pretty quick then.

New York State, I just sent in all the required documents and the Dept. of Health changed it and issued a new certificate two months post-op

Oh those darn blue states.

Well that leaves me out. I'll have to check my state on my own. Thanks anyway. I'm sure it helps others.

No problem, but I may have just gotten lucky.  Most of my success was happening to run into sympathetic clerks on one of their good days.  YMMV.

[SomeMTF]

There are no laws about the issue. I found that out.

[SomeMTF]

More information: changes are not allowed after the certificate is given.   

[tekla]

Well at least in the States, and only in the states that will do it, you are issued a new BC, one that is amended, but the original record does not change.

[SomeMTF]

Reason:  International use of birthcertificates and the marriage validity ultimate check in some possible situations.

[SomeMTF]

ID change possibly without court order or full SRS.

I believe Ohio is one of the few states that does not allow any changes to the cert once it has been made.  It sucks.

Though in Illinois, I had a wonderful experience.  I just received my new Birth Certificate and not only does it say that I'm female.  IT IS AN ORIGINAL!  It does not say amended ANYWHERE!  When I had my name changed, my BC came back listed as amended.  But now after my SRS as far as the state is concerned I was born female!

I always knew that, of course, but now the state agrees with me!

I'll have an image of my new cert up in a bit.

I just got a passport recently and they put female on it!  Despite my birth cert saying male and my drivers license saying male and my application saying male.  HAHA yeah....

[SomeMTF]

I do not live in the USA. Here birthcertificate is different. And when it is needed too.

For example in case Christian values would become very strong and I am married to man they can use my BC to destroy the marriage.
