Your Gender. Your Identity.
Your Choice.
A formal record of your self-identified gender, with a permanent registry reference you can use when updating records. UK residents can also add an optional deed poll for a legal name change.
What is a Gender Recognition Certificate?
A Gender Recognition Certificate is a formal document that records your self-identified gender. It’s issued in your chosen name and gender, and includes a unique reference number linked to our secure digital registry.
This isn’t a government-issued document or ID, and it is not part of any government digital identity scheme. It’s a personal document that affirms your identity — created for you, on your terms.
Many people use their certificate as supporting documentation when updating records with banks, employers, healthcare providers, and other organisations. If you’re also changing your name, UK residents can add a deed poll so you can update both together.
Who is this for?
This service is for adults who want a clear, respectful way to document their self-identified gender — with the option to add a UK deed poll for a legal name change.
Affirming Your Identity
You want formal documentation that reflects who you are.
Exploring Your Gender
You’re early in the process and want something tangible and validating.
Supporting Documentation
You want something to help with updates at work, with services, or in day-to-day life.
Changing Your Name
UK residents can add a deed poll to legally change their name alongside the certificate.
Limited Local Options
You live somewhere where official routes are slow, unclear, or hard to access.
A Formal Record
You want a clear record with a registry reference — on your terms.
We support applicants across the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, and 11 European countries.
Your gender is personal — how and why you choose to document it is up to you.
Three steps. One certificate.
Register
Create your account in a few minutes. We collect the essentials needed to process your application securely.
Apply
Choose your name and gender. No medical evidence. No approval panel. This is self-identification. If you’re changing your name, UK residents can add a deed poll at checkout.
Receive
Most orders are processed within 5 working days. You’ll receive your certificate (digital, and printed if selected), plus your registry reference. If you add a deed poll, it’s prepared and sent as part of the same order.
That’s it. No interviews, no waiting lists, no gatekeeping.
Your certificate. Your registry reference. Your record.
📜 Printed Certificate
A professionally produced certificate featuring your name, gender, unique reference number, and date of issue. Ideal for keeping with important documents.
💾 Digital Copy
A secure PDF you can download from your account whenever you need it.
🗂️ Digital Registry
Your certificate is recorded in our secure registry as a permanent entry, with a reference number you can quote when needed. Registry access is included for the first year, with an affordable annual renewal after that.
🔢 Unique Reference Number
Every certificate includes a unique reference number linked to the registry entry, so you can reference it consistently across updates.
✍️ Optional: UK Deed Poll
UK residents can add a deed poll for a legal name change. It’s widely accepted by banks, employers, and other organisations, and can be ordered on its own or alongside your certificate.
Recognised across 15+ countries
We issue certificates for personal use in regions where self-identification is permitted.
Each region page includes a plain-English overview of local rules, plus links to official sources.
We provide information, not legal advice — and we’re clear about what the certificate can and can’t be used for in each country.

In their own words
I’d been putting it off for a long time because the process felt overwhelming but this made it easy and gave me something tangible without any stress. Thank you.
Having something formal made it easier to update my records at work. The process was straightforward and respectful.
Getting the deed poll and certificate together made everything simpler. One order, everything I needed to update my name and gender.
