It is a joint project with GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law) , Ropes & Gray LLP, and Goodwin Procter LLP. Visit us online [at](at www.glad.org/id)[ ](at www.glad.org/id)[www.glad.org/id](at www.glad.org/id).  \nAbout This Guide  \nWe created this guide as a legal resource for transgender and non-binary people who want to change their name and/or gender marker on state and federal identity documents (IDs). Many people successfully update their IDs without the assistance of an attorney. However, if your situation requires legal assistance, we may be able to pair you with an attorney from Ropes & Gray LLP or Goodwin Procter LLP pro bono (without legal fees) .  \nThis guide is meant to be a starting point for you, and, in many cases, it may beall you need to complete the process. For more complicated situations—like if you have a criminal record or are a minor with a parent who does not consent to your desired changes—more detailed assistance from an attorney may be needed.  \nIf you have questions, you can reach out to the ID Project [through](through www.glad.org/id)[ ](through www.glad.org/id)[www.glad.org/id](through www.glad.org/id). There is no charge for this service, although you may still be responsible for any fees associated with changing IDs. Because of high demand, it can sometimes take two months or more to match you with a lawyer. Thanks for your patience!  \nThis guide provides the most common forms used to complete the name change and gender marker change process. Before each form, you will find information about the form and tips for filling it out. Please note that not every section or every form applies to your situation—you will need to read carefully to understand which forms you will need.  \nThe order in which you update your ID documents, or whether you decide to change some but not all of them, is flexible, but we generally recommend that you change your documents in this order:  \n1. Name change through local probate and family court (name only)  \n2. Social Security Card (name and gender, as applicable)  \n3. U.S. Passport (name and gender, as applicable)  \n4. Driver’s License or State ID Card (name and gender, as applicable)  \n5. Birth Certificate (name and gender, as applicable)  \nOnce these documents are updated, it is typically easier to change other documents, such as records with employers. Most of those documents can be changed administratively with a simple phone call, but there are certain documents, particularly marriage certificates or children’s birth certificates, that may require additional assistance from an attorney.  \nA Note About Non-Binary Gender Marker Changes:  \nYou may choose to have a non-binary gender marker on identifying documents. For example, New Hampshire lets residents select “X” as a gender marker on driver’s licensesand state IDs. If you are interested in using a non-binary gender marker, we recommend connecting with an attorney before making this change. Not all identity documents, including federal documents like social security records, currently let you use a non-binary gender marker. Therefore, there may be challenges if you have only state documents showing non-binary gender markers. An attorney will be able to help you understand the potential implications and how to manage them.  \nWe understand that the steps for changing your name and gender marker may feel overwhelming. We also know that this process is not always a smooth one . Government offices can make mistakes or ask questions that may be confusing.
