I'm was born an intersex person and present myself either as my true sex which is intersex, or sometimes as a female, thus I consider myself also transgender. I'm looking for information on how I can change my NJ birth certificate status from Male to either Intersex or Female.

Here is a guide to all documentation changes: https://www.susans.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_changes

Hope this helps!

Hugs, Devlyn

I really appreciate you replying and adding that link here! Thanks so much and cheers!

For starters, you will need the pdf form: http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/pdf/Licenses/genderchange.pdf

Furthermore:

New Jersey(update 2005)

New Jersey will change both name and sex, and will issue a new birth certificate rather than amend the old one.

Previous Update, June 2005:

    Changes such as we require are handled by the Modification Unit and are accepted ONLY by mail. YOU CAN NOT DO THIS IN PERSON AS BEFORE.

    Along with the letter requesting the change you must submit the following:   

        Application fee of $27.00 US in the form of Personal Check or MO made out to New Jersey State Treasurer.
        A seal copy of the court order of the name change.
        A NOTARIZED Copy of the Surgeon's Letter.
        Your original birth information. It can be hand written including Date, Place (Municipality), Parents. ( Or it may be a copy of a Birth Certificate.)
        Return Address and Phone number.

    Mail to:
    New Jersey Department of Vital Statistics
    P.O. Box 370

Updated New Jersey information as of November 2002:

    The filing fee for the name change was 175.00, and I had to post an ad in the local paper, once prior to the judgement being rendered, and once after. I paid I believe about 45 dollars for the both ads to run. There is a fee of 5.00 for each copy of the rendered judgment to be sealed, and the seal is essential for it to be used to change other documents. The document also has to be registered with the State, and that is an additional 50.00 fee.  As far as the gender change, one contacts the State dept. of health to petition the gender change, and you can include the court order only after it's validated by the state. A simple letter however from the surgeon doesn't suffice, what they required in my case was a notarized copy of the actual surgical report. Changing the driver's license also requires proof of SRS having been performed.
