What are the gender marker change requirements for the different passport offices?

While the process for changing your gender marker differs from country to country, the UK now allows you to submit a Gender Marker Letter - issued by a professional consultant involved in your gender-affirming care - as sufficient evidence for making the correction. The letter confirms that your gender change is likely to be permanent.

You can book a Gender Marker Letter Consultation Session now through GenderGP.

Please check with the relevant passport office to confirm their requirements. Here are the current requirements of the UK passport office.
