How do I update my ID documents?

Here’s the important steps for updating your ID documents:

1. choose a name that you’d like to be called
2. choose a title that you’d like people to use for you
3. decide whether you want to update what gender is listed on your ID documents
4. if you’re changing name, make a deed poll or statutory declaration
5. Tell everyone you need to about your new details

What about birth, adoption, and marriage certificates?

You’ll need a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) to update your birth, adoption, or marriage certificates. You can read more about how to get a GRC on the TransActual website.
