I popped to the post office today to pick up a letter & it's now official, I am no longer Mr i'm now Miss.
As I read through the deed pole decleration about relinquishing my old name I was so happy I started crying, yet another step along the path of transitioning is behind me & it was a very easy step but also very emotionaly satisfying.
I know it's not a big deal really but it's good to share good news, it's a rare thing nowdays
Congrats!
I did mine via Statutory Declaration at the local court house. Cost £20 and took an hour for a magistrate to be free but on the first day of summer I was officially a "Ms".
I felt different afterwards. Having stood up and read my declaration from the witness box to the whole court somehow validated me even though I never doubted myself. I walked out of court straight across to the bank and changed the name on my account.
I felt on top of the world.

No. It is a big deal. That person no longer exists. You have taken their place.
Awesome news! (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)
I was lazy for mine, I made a 5 minute phone call & it cost me £33.
Once the paperwork arrives you just have to get someone to sign it as a witness, no judge, no courtroom, no hassle.

The court house is 5 minutes from here and I had to pass it anyway.
Congrats Jayne :)
