How to change your gender by law
In order to change your gender by law you need to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate.
There are 2 steps to change your gender by law:
- apply to the Royal Court of Jersey for a Gender Recognition Certificate
- the Superintendent Registrar will enter you into the Gender Recognition Register
The Royal Court will serve the Gender Recognition Order on the Superintendent Registrar and registration will then be undertaken.
