Transgender people in Kansas will be allowed to change the sex designations on their birth certificates.
The Wichita Eagle reports that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has entered a consent judgment in a federal lawsuit that would allow people to legally change the gender in their birth records through a personal sworn statement.
Residents would have to submit a passport or driver’s license with their new gender identity or an affidavit from a doctor or mental health professional.
Kansas is the 48th state to allow people to change gender designations on birth certificates.
