Idk if that dogshit executive order applies to birth certificates or if it’s just passports and other federal identity documents. As far as I’m aware birth certificates are managed by the state and I live in a blue state (Minnesota), so I’m thinking maybe I could but idk.
I’m planning on using my passport that I got a few months ago as one of my supporting documents but I’m worried that it might get confiscated. (My passport has an F on it, my birth certificate currently has an M on it)
Thanks for your advice, though I actually have all my documents updated already except for my birth certificate. Sex is self determined here on driver’s licenses and etc so all my other documents already have an F marker on it.
I changed my name when I was about 8 months on hrt so I didn’t qualify for getting an ACT letter then. So I figured I’d just change it later, but yeah I agree it’d be easier to do both at once.
From what I have read my birth certificate changes will be private however my name change is public unfortunately. I don’t think it’s possible for that to be private here unless there’s like a victim protection thing going on.
You should talk to a lawyer about sealing the name change - they would know best whether it’s possible, and they might be able to petition the court and attend the hearing for you. I haven’t done it myself yet, but I plan to - and I know someone who has in another state.
