How We Do It

• We assist with the fingerprinting required to obtain a legal name change
• We cover the fee for those who qualify. (To file for a legal name change for a minor, the state requires that the minor and both parents be fingerprinted, making it financially burdensome.)
• We arrange for a volunteer to accompany Trans people to court for their legal name change hearing, providing social support.
• We cover the fee for certified copies of their legally issued name change for qualifying clients.
• After the name change process is complete, we assist Trans people with updating their identity documents, including their:
  • Social Security card
  • Driver’s license or state ID
  • Passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Any other important documents.
