Title: Florida Gender Marker and name change

heyo,

For those of you that have gotten this process done in Florida to your birth certificate, does your certificate show the previous name and gender? Or is it a completely new form.

Will that just be the original form? Like for the copies, do they just show the new name?

I believe that in FL it is just the original certificate with a notation that shows your new name and sex in addition to your original data.

I used to think that those of us born in Texas had it bad, but, unfortunately, FL seems to be worse.

I switched my driver's license to FL yesterday, and the DMV lady (in Orlando) really was quite clueless, asking for a gender change letter because the new name/sex was different from my license from 20 years ago. I had to talk to another DMV agent, who finally understood that I don't need a gender change letter if my valid out of state license, SSA records and birth certificate all now identify me as female. *sigh*
