OHIO
Statute:
Controlling case law: re: Ladrach, 32 Ohio Misc 2d 6,513 N 828 ( Ohio Prob Court 1987) (Interpreting Ohio’s birth certificate state: be only a correction statute that does not encompass correction of some birth certificates of individuals who have changed their sex by surgical procedure).
Ohio will not change sex on the birth certificate. There was some question whether Ohio will even change the name, but latest information states that name change can be done through the Division of Vital Records with a court order. This does not amend the original birth certificate. An “abstract copy” will be created with a court order, and if requested by name, this “abstract copy”, you will receive an attached statement with your new name.
You may, however, be able to have the sex designation on your Ohio driver’s license changed by showing a letter from your SRS surgeon. It depends on whether you catch the clerk at the DMV on a good day…
