Gender Recognition Certificate

A Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) is an official document that confirms a person's gender identity as their true gender, regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth. It allows individuals to have their gender legally recognized, enabling changes to their birth certificate and other legal documents to reflect their gender. Obtaining a GRC typically involves meeting specific criteria, such as living as their preferred gender for a certain period and, in some cases, providing medical evidence. This process helps ensure their legal identity aligns with how they see and experience themselves.
