Colorado Birth Certificate Gender Change/Name Change
Gender change via sex reassignment surgery is a process where an individual’s physical characteristics and/or social gender role are changed to reflect the sex opposite of that determined at birth. This type of gender or sex change is different from misinformation recorded during the filing of the original birth certificate.

Change Gender Marker on Passport
Understand that if you have not been treated by a physician for your gender incongruence and provide the proper documentation, then you will not be allowed to update your passport’s gender marker. Surgery is no longer necessary, the only proof that you live full time in your new gender, supplied by your treating physician. Proof of name change is required if completed, as is a current photo and proper fees.
