cool, but I don't wanna invalidate my passport 😞
I don't see how this law would do that.
the records currently are very restricted. this law would make it even more so. This would allow minors to change their name without their parents being entitled to that information.
If you choose to share that information about yourself this law won't effect you. This law will stop some people close to you from having access to your records through the court.
Unless I'm missing something this bill won't invalidate passports, but it will protect trans people from transphobic relatives or others.
Only you and your lawyer can access those if this goes into effect.
They should issue a new birth certificate with the correct sex marker to match the person's gender
CA allows for birth certificate gender marker changes by self declaration. For $52 and a notary you can get a copy of a new birth certificate with a different gender marker.
Name changes require you to attach a court ordered name change document.
Different parts of the government handle different things. Courts don't do birth certificates.
Ah, good to know, thanks!
