Be yourself, legally

About this planner

What is this?
This is a free, private tool that helps trans and non-binary people in the UK find out what legal steps they need to take to change their name and gender marker on official documents.

Who is it for?
Anyone living in the UK who wants to update their legal documents to match their gender identity. This includes people who only want a name change, only a gender marker change, or both. There is also guidance for people from outside the UK who hold a visa or eVisa (a digital visa stored online rather than as a physical sticker).

How does it work?
You answer a short set of questions about your situation: what documents you already have, what you have already updated, and what you want to do. The planner then creates a personal step-by-step action plan for you, with clear instructions and links to official resources.

Step-by-step or checklist?
Both options produce the same plan. The step-by-step wizard shows one question at a time. This is good if you are not sure where to start. The checklist shows all questions at once. This is good if you already know your situation well. You can switch between them at any time.

Is my information safe?
Yes. Nothing you enter is ever sent to a server or stored outside your own device. Your progress is saved in your browser so you can return to it later. Press the red ⚠️ button or the Esc key at any time to instantly leave the page.

Is this legal advice?
No. This planner gives general guidance based on current UK processes. It is not a replacement for advice from a qualified legal professional. Always check important steps on official GOV.UK pages before submitting any applications.
