We're so excited for this year's Name Change Clinic, brought to you in partnership with the OUTreach program at the Jim Toy Community Center and OutLaws student group. This workshop will cover the basics of legal name changes, gender marker corrections, and current legal issues regarding transgender rights.

PLEASE NOTE:
This workshop will center on the process in Michigan. Every state's process to change your name and legal gender marker is different, and can vary within a state by county. Our presenters will be doing their best to answer any questions regarding the process broadly, but please keep this in mind as you attend.

Several documents must be prepared in advance. Details available on the registration page.

The School of Social Work Office of Global Activities and U-M Spectrum Center are collaborating to host Trans Visibility Passport Day. During this event, the Washtenaw County Clerk's office will assist students and community members to apply for, renew, or make changes to their passport in the form of a name change* or updated gender marker.** Although this event is hosted specifically for folks needing a gender marker or name change, individuals not requiring these services but still in need of a new or renewed passport are welcome to attend.

*Please note that one must have already gone through the legal name change process and must be able to provide the original court documentation regarding the name change.

**Currently, you can obtain a ten-year passport with an updated gender marker if you have had clinical treatment determined by your doctor to be appropriate in your case, to facilitate gender transition. No specific details are required about the appropriate treatment (e.g., hormone-replacement therapy, surgery, etc.) to have an updated gender marker on your passport.
