Gender Recognition
Application Forms
On
4th January 2005, the Gender Recognition Panel (GRP) will make the first
application packs for fast track and overseas gender recognition processes
available at http://www.grp.gov.uk .
Fast
track applications are for people who have transitioned at least six years ago.
For the first six months, the GRP will deal exclusively with these applications.
Application
packs for the standard application process will be available in July 2005 and
the first day that these applications will be assessed by the Panel will be on
4th October 2005.
Gender Recognition Advice Site Open
To
help people understand the process, Press For Change has created a guidance site
at http://www.gra-info.org.uk
The
site includes answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), and an interactive
expert system ("Ask GRACE") - a questionnaire which will guide you
through the application process. There is also a Roadmap, which sets out all the
steps as a flowchart.
If
you have an enquiry about personal matters, which might affect your application,
and you can't find an answer on the GRA-info site, we have provided on online
enquiry system: see the "Feedback" link. However, please do Ask GRACE
and read the FAQs first! We know we haven't covered everything, but the answer
may already be there.
(The
GRA-info site is still under development, so please bear with us as we sort out
some remaining presentational issues).
