FOR PERSONS WHO ARE US CITIZENS BUT WERE BORN OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES:
You can change your name and gender on your US Department of State
issued birth certificates.
You must obtain a legal name change (original or certified copy)
from the court of the county for which you reside, the original
birth certificate, plus an original letter of SRS from the surgeon
and forward such information to:
US DEPT. OF STATE
1111 19th St., NW, STE 510
WASHINGTON, DC 20502-1705
(202) 955-0307
The State Department will then re-issue a new birth certificate (not
amended) and the process takes approximately 6-8 weeks. As of 1999,
the fee was $40, but you should contact them to obtain the current fee
for this process.
