Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi, I'm an Italian FTM living in London for 12 years now. Been on T for 1 year. I've been struggling finding info on how to change my passport details. The consulate itself is useless and I don't actually know any FTM or MTF from Italy in London. If there's anyone here that is in similar situation or can advise me on what to do please give me a shout her. It would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Bee

Usually there are two different places where you can get your name changed, and that would be city hall or the courthouse. If not, they should at least know where you have to go to get it done. And your name would have to be legally changed, before you could change the name of your visa, which would probably have to be done at the embassy. But my best friend is from England. I'll text her, and she if she knows anything. Legal stuff is always a hassle lol.

I thought she had to work late, but she just texted me back. She said that you should go the registry office to change your name.

Hi, Bee!

Welcome to Susan's.

You will need to change your Italian birth certificate.  If there is a Vital Statistics bureau in Italy, or some equivalent, they are the people to contact.  You will have to follow whatever procedures they decide to make that change.

Once your birth certificate is changed, you can probably use that to get your British papers updated, such as visa, driver's license, etc.
