QUEBEC
In order for a person’s legal gender to be reassigned, the person must be of age, unmarried, and a Canadian citizen, and have resided in Quebec for at least a year.
Sex reassignment surgery must be completed. A form from the Directeur de l’etat civil MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH THE FOLLOWING:
- A MEDICAL CERTIFICATE FROM THE PHYSICAIAN WHO PERFORMED THE SURGERY
- A MEDICAL CERTIFICATE FROM A PHSICIAN LICENSED IN QUEBEC, ATTESTING THAT THE SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL
- A DECLARATION AND OATH FROM THE APPLICANT
Fees are $125.00 for amending the record, and $10.00 for extra copies of the certificate of gender reassignment. The fee is not refundable if the request is refused.
Formerly, a change of name to one of the opposite gender required a legal gender reassignment. This was successfully challenged in court and now a person can change their name to one of the other gender by the normal name change procedure, without needing a gender reassignment.
