Tennessee Birth Certificate Info

Tennessee will NOT change the sex designation on TN birth certificates, regardless of surgery or intersex diagnosis. Tennessee will issue an amended birth certificate with new name after you get a court order. You will need an original or certified copy of the court order for your name change. With the new Federal ID Act compliance, your license will reflect your BIRTH gender as shown on your birth certificate as of 01/01/2006. HOWEVER, a valid and current US Passport circumvents that requirement by replacing birth certificate as proof of identity and citizenship. Major update to US Passport procedure in 2010 has made application easier for Transgenders, ask us how. email BEAR
