However, changing your gender on your passport requires additional steps. The HM Passport Office will ask for medical documents or records, such as those issued by a consultant\/GP or a psychologist specializing in gender dysphoria, to prove that your gender transition is &#8220;likely to be permanent.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">If you have been issued a GRC, you can change both your name and gender by using this document. The Gender Recognition Panel, composed of medical and legal experts, reviews GRC applications, which can take up to 22 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Those who have obtained a new birth certificate after their transition do not need a deed poll to update their name and gender on official documents. Otherwise, filling out a deed poll application and paying the fee is necessary to begin the process of officially changing your name. After your application is processed, you may update your passport, license, and other records to reflect your new name and identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-family: var(
