Title: High school diploma
Post by: Amy1988 on March 20, 2016, 02:16:14 PM
I am happy to say that my high school and college have ordered me a new diploma and degree with my new name. This was a huge relief because if I have to find a new job all my legal documents will match.  I'm still working on my birth certificate but that isn't as important since few employers ask for that.  I'm so happy!!!!

Thank you all.  Getting all my identity documents changed is huge for me.  I'm still in my 20's and I'm sure I'll change employers several times in the coming years and I really don't want to be in a situation where I have to explain why there is a male name on my degree and diploma.
