This is the application form for a Gender Recognition Certificate for those using the standard process. There are different forms for those using the overseas or alternative processes.
Extract from Document
This form should be used by applicants for a Gender Recognition Certificate who are not applying using the Overseas Process.
Applicants applying under this process must demonstrate that they have lived full time in their acquired gender for at least two years. Before you start, please read the document ‘Explanatory leaflet – a guide for users’, which explains the gender recognition process.
If you are married or in a civil partnership, please also read ‘Guidance for married people or those in Civil Partnerships’ and ‘Guidance for married couples where one or both partners wish to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate’.
We hope we have made this form easy to understand and complete. The guidance notes (see ‘Guidance on completing the application form for a Gender Recognition Certificate’) should answer most of the questions you may have. We recommend that you read the notes before completing each section of the form. If you do find it difficult to complete on your own, you could ask a friend or someone from a support organisation to help you, or you telephone the Gender Recognition Panel on 0300 123 4503 and one of the administrators will be happy to provide support.
