This section of the website has been created to help people applying for gender recognition through the processes laid down in the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

If you are considering applying for gender recognition, Ask GRACE, the Gender Recognition Act Computerised Expert. GRACE will walk you through the process you need to undergo for a successful application.

If you have any further questions, we hope that they will be answered by the comprehensive FAQs.

If you would like an overview of how the gender recognition process works, please take a look at the Roadmap to Gender Recognition. It’s a printable flowchart of the whole application process.

However, if you are still unsure how to proceed (perhaps because your circumstances are unusual), you can use a form to request confidential expert help.
