The Transgender Passport Help How to get the Passport Renewal

What happens if you already own a US passport? Are you able to renew your passport through mail following a gender change? It's possible, however, only if you've changed the gender of your passport. If you possess a passport but are required to change your gender, you can't renew it by mail, even when you've met all the other conditions.

It was issued under your name at the time of issue or you have the legal documentation that supports the request to change your name.

What kind of medical Treatments is required to change the gender on your passport?

Are you thinking about what kind of medical care you'll require prior to changing the gender of your passport? Before the year 2010, it was impossible to obtain real-time passport changes without going through an operation to reassign your sex. It was an issue because most transgender people do not want to undergo the procedure. However, they must have documents for travel that reflected the gender of the person they are.

The good news is that surgery not anymore required. "Appropriate treatments" is now a matter between you and your physician. You can now design the best treatment plan for you. If your doctor tells you that you're "in an ongoing process" changing gender, you'll be issued an unrestricted validity, the two-year passport that includes your new gender. If your doctor is of the opinion that your transition is complete, the new passport is valid for the normal 10 years.

The Doctor's Letter

Are you looking to reduce the time it takes to process? Make sure you double-check the doctor's note! It must be in compliance with the below State Department requirements: The letter should be printed using the doctor's letterhead. It has to be issued by an accredited physician with who you are a patient. It must include the medical license issued by the doctor or certificate number, as well as the name of the organization or state that issued the license.

The letter should state that the doctor you are referring to has a doctor-patient relationship with you, has seen you, or has evaluated and reviewed your medical history. It also confirms that you " have received or are in the process of receiving suitable medical treatment to change to the new gender."

It must contain the following sentence: "I declare under penalty of perjury as per federal law in the United States that the foregoing is true and accurate." To make things easier to your physician, download an office template for your doctor's office here.

Note  If the note from your doctor states that you "are going through or receiving" treatment then you'll receive a temporary 2 years passport, which you can exchange with a permanent passport after treatment is over.

However, the path of treatment lies between you and your physician. It isn't necessary. Therefore, certain transgender rights groups, including the National Center for Transgender Equality claim they believe that "there is no reason why someone who is transgender to apply for a limited passport."
