Good news for New Hampshire residents

[ActionLiz]

There's some good news on the driver's license front for those of us fortunate enough to live and work in the great state of New Hampshire.   Changing gender on an NH driver's license is now as simple as filling out a standard "Change of Gender Designation" form.  (Google "nh dsmv 626" to find a copy online.)  There's a section your health provider will need to fill out, attesting that your gender "can reasonably be expected to continue as [male/female] in the foreseeable future", but there is *no* proof of surgery required.

Posting here because this is apparently a very recent change -- it's not on the wiki yet, and searching the forum indicates that the process was much more problematic as recently as two years ago.  I read threads from a couple of members who had to jump through some crazy hoops to get their NH license updated.  Looks like that's no longer the case.

Yay New Hampshire!  I love you more than ever now.

As progressive as NH is I don't know what took them so long.

A close friend of mine who transition 8 years ago in NH, had Male on her license after she transitioned with her female name. When she went to renew her license 3 years ago with her new female passport (and still pre-op, but blends really well) she was surprised when the DMV clerk said: "Oh look, they have the wrong gender on your license, let me correct that for you." She responded with: "Oh, I didn't notice, thank you." And then she had female on her license.

They made the rule change last year November.

NH is not really "progressive" as they are libertarian.

LOL@ the passport thing
