Arizona Transgender ID Changes

Arizona State ID Change

To change the gender marker requires a letter from a doctor stating that the applicant is irrevocably committed to having GRS.

After a legal name change, you are required by law to notify MVD within 10 days. The MVD is required to verify your Social Security Number before your record can be updated, therefore you must first contact the Social Security Administration to change your name on their records. After you have changed your name with SSA, wait two days for their computer system to be updated. You should then visit an MVD office to present identification in both your new and previous names. This must be an original or certified copy (must be certified by the issuing agency) of one of the following: Marriage Certificate/License, Divorce Decree, Certificate of Citizenship/Naturalization or court order. The fee for a duplicate license is $4.

Arizona Birth Certificate Change

Arizona will change both name and sex and will issue a new birth certificate rather than amend the old one. The original certificate is “closed” to further inspection.

As of 2011, the fee for the change process is $301.00.

You will need an original letter from your SRS surgeon and an original or certified copy of the court order for your name change. IMPORTANT: The court order must specifically state “the name may be changed on the Arizona birth certificate.”
