Transgender ID Change in Maryland

Maryland State ID Change

To change the gender marker requires an applicant must provide a physician or psychologist’s report to confirm that the applicant is in active treatment. The MVA decides whether to authorize the change, and requires annual re-evaluations until the applicant “meets requirements for permanent gender change.”

Under the proposal, is to change the regulation so that an updated birth certificate will be required to change the gender marker, doing so will demand that some sort of reassignment surgery to have been completed. The implementation of this policy change, which was intended to take effect on January 1st, 2010, has been delayed to an unspecified date.

If you are using a name other than your birth name, you must bring the document that initiated the name change such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree or court name change order and your current License.

• You must pass a vision test or submit a Vision Screening form.
• You will be required to disclose your social security number. Applicants not eligible for a social security number will be required to provide a self-certification.

The current fee for a corrected card is $30 for a driver’s license ($20 if you are under 21 years of age) and $20 for an identification card. ($10 if you are under 16 years of age)

Maryland Birth Certificate Change

In order for the Division of Vital Records to change your sex and name on your birth certificate, we require a Court Order indicating that both your name and sex are to be changed. You can most likely obtain an amended Court Order to indicate the correct sex along with your new name. We cannot change the sex on a birth certificate with just a Physicians letter.

[The amended birth certificate does not retain any reference to the original.]

Once you obtain this information, send True Test Copy or Original Court Order to my attention at the Division of Vital Records, P.O. Box 68760, Baltimore, Md. 21215-0020 c/o Birth Section Chief. (410)764-3145.

For the State of Maryland, there is a Fee of $12.00 for any change made on a birth certificate if the person is over one year of age/ for an adoption/ paternity name change/ court order name change or gender change. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the Division of Vital Records.
