ID Change Library

HOME > RESOURCES

Since 2016, Trans Lifeline’s Microgrants department has been leading a community-supported effort to create and maintain the widest readily accessible database of all the local and national information surrounding ID changes in one place – including Tribal IDs, immigration documents, military documents, and name changes for people with previous criminal records.

This living library contains multiple tables ranging from federal to county information about name & gender marker changes and ID documents.

We call it living because processes and fees are subject to change at any time. To help us keep this running, we’d love your feedback on accessibility or information by contacting us here (select Microgrants). We thank our community for the research, translation, and entry it takes to keep this library running. Your contributions are invaluable to the trans community’s well-being. Special thanks go to Miriam Gwilt, Kel Dae, and others.
