Gender Reassignment Board
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.
Application and Service
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).
New birth certificates
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.
Review of decisions
If your application to the Gender Reassignment Board is unsuccessful, you may apply for a review of the decision to the State Administrative Tribunal.
