Reports for Gender Recognition Certificate Applications
Below you will find the information for applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).
Name Change by Deed Poll, Passport Changes, and Gender Recognition Certificates
Changing your gender status on a passport or obtaining a UK Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) usually requires a name change by Deed Poll and a report from a recognised Gender Specialist (i.e., two letters are required for a GRC).
Please note that the decision to issue the name/gender change in a passport or on a GRC resides with the Passport Office or the Gender Recognition Panel (GRP) and depends on qualifying criteria and completeness of the application. Please read application guidelines carefully before requesting a consultation.

Name change by Statutory Declaration or by Deed Poll does not require specialist input and can be done rather easily by anyone. ​
