NC Trans Residents: Change Your Documents – NOW!

Close up photo of file of papers

If Senate Bill 516 and/or House Bill 791 pass both houses of the legislature, the ability to change your birth certificate and driver’s license may be unavailable after October 1, 2025.

Fortunately, you can get both changed with just documentation. With the NC DL 300, you can change your drivers license. You’ll need to use Birth Certificate Modification Application form to change your birth certificate. With both documents, I highly recommend that you submit a notarized document from your health care provider.

The statement can be as simple as:

A letter stating the following:  To Whom It May Concern:  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC.  I have been a therapist working with Paige Sullivan since 2016.  She has completed hormone transition and has presented as female the whole time I have known her.  She has requested verification to change her gender for her birth certificate.  I fully endorse this.  Sincerely, (Provider Name)

Here are copies of the forms I downloaded on Sunday, April 6th:
