Understand the difference between “personal use” and “legal recognition”
This hub is designed to help you make informed decisions quickly and safely.
1) Personal use
In many regions, you can use documents privately even where the government process is separate or more limited.
2) Private organisations
Banks, employers, schools, landlords and clubs often follow internal policies. Acceptance varies by organisation.
3) Official recognition
Legal gender recognition is controlled by government law and process. Our pages link to official sources so you can confirm the current requirements.
What influences acceptance
- Local legal framework (self-ID vs medical/court model)
- Whether you need this for personal use or official government records
- Organisation type (public vs private)
- Industry sector
- Individual organisation policies
Check your specific region page for local context.
If your country isn’t listed
We currently serve 15+ countries across the UK, Ireland, North America, and Europe. If your country isn’t listed, we may still be able to help in certain cases.
We may still be able to help if:
- Your country permits self-identification for personal use
- You can receive international post
- You have a valid government-issued ID from any country
Contact us to discuss: hello@genderrecognition.org
We regularly review opportunities to expand to additional regions where self-identification is legally permitted.
