Boca Raton Name and Gender Change Attorney

Transgender individuals face many legal struggles when it comes to being recognized as their gender identity. An important step is legally updating their name and gender marker, so their government identification can reflect their gender identity. However, many people might not know where to begin with this process, and you should not hesitate to consult with a name and gender change lawyer in Boca Raton about the matter. The law office of Juliana Gaita, P.A., is ready to help.

Navigating the Legal Process

While you can informally go by a different name or gender than assigned at birth, the government will not officially recognize these changes without a court order. Each county in Florida might have different forms or procedures to achieve a name and gender change, so you want to seek help from a lawyer with experience handling such cases in Palm Beach County.

Our attorney will prepare the proper name and gender marker change petition and file it with the appropriate court. We will help to ensure that you meet the requirements, which include not seeking a change for an unlawful or ulterior purpose and showing that your civil rights have not been suspended. You must get fingerprinted and comply with other instructions of the court.

Once the court issues an order to legally change your name and gender marker, you can use this order to update your legal documents, including:

• Social Security card
• Driver’s license
• Passport
• Birth certificate
