Gender Recognition Act

The Gender Recognition Act (GRA) is a law that allows individuals to legally change their gender in official documents, such as passports and birth certificates. Introduced in the UK in 2004, it enables transgender people to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate, confirming their gender identity. This certificate provides legal recognition and helps individuals live according to their true gender, which can enhance their rights and dignity. The Act has undergone discussions and proposals for reform to make the process more accessible and affirming for transgender people.
