The Gender Reassignment Board deals with matters relating to a person's reassigned gender under the Gender Reassignment Act.
A person who has undergone gender reassignment and wishes to have their new gender legally recognised can apply for a Recognition Certificate for an Adult.
A guardian of a child who has undergone gender reassignment and wishes to have the child’s new gender legally recognised can apply for a Recognition Certificate for a Child.
Applications for certificates are to be made to the Gender Reassignment Board.
When making an application you must provide evidence to the Executive Officer that you have served a copy of the application form and supporting documents on the Attorney General.
The Board has approved a standard Statutory Declaration form (Western Australia) which you can use as evidence of service.
Alternatively when you contact the Executive Officer for an application, please request a copy of the Statutory Declaration (download below) to be sent with the application.
When lodging your application with the Executive Officer you must also attach proof of service of a copy of the application and any supporting documents on the Attorney General (Statutory Declaration form).
Once your application to the Gender Reassignment Board is successful, you can apply for a new birth certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages. For more information, visit the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages website.
If your application to the Gender Reassignment Board is unsuccessful, you may apply for a review of the decision to the State Administrative Tribunal.
For more information about a review of the Gender Reassignment Board's decision visit the State Administrative Tribunal website.
