    Providing trans and gender-expansive young adults with legal support for gender-affirming name changes - helping you move forward with confidence

  • If you would like to attend the upcoming gender-affirming legal name change and vital documents clinic provided by Southern Legal center for Youth on Friday Oct. 9th from 1:00-5:00pm, please comlete the registration form below by Friday Oct. 2nd to secure your spot.

     

    You will receive a confirmation email after you register and a couple of weeks before the clinic you will receive a link to select your appointment time. Please regularly check your email and text messages as this will be how we reach out to you. If we cannot reach you, we will not be able to offer you a spot at the clinic, so it is very important that you stay on top of emails/text messages.

    The clinic will be held in person at GSU which is a few minutes walk away from the Peachtree Center MARTA Station.

    NOTE: This clinic is ONLY for Georgia residents who are trans and gender-expansive between the ages of 18-26 years old. If you live outside of the state of Georgia and/or are not trans/gender-expansive, and/or are outside of this age range, we unfortunately cannot provide assistance and we may not have time to respond to you.

    Any sign-ups on or after September 24, 2026 will be on the WAITLIST for the October 9, 2026 clinic.

  • NOTE: This clinic only serves young adults between the ages of 18-26 who are trans/gender-expansive. Please do not sign up if you are out of this age range and/or are not trans/gender-expansive because we cannot serve you and we do not have time to follow up.

  • Name Change Needs

  • Name Changes: We help trans and gender-expansive young adults (18-26) navigate the legal process of updating their identification documents to reflect their chosen name. We understand that having documents that don't match who you are can create significant barriers in daily life and impact your wellbeing. We'll guide you step-by-step through the court procedures, help you understand your rights, and work to make the process as smooth as possible so you can move forward with documentation that truly represents you. We can advise you on your rights relating to gender marker changes, which is a very involved process in Georgia.

  • Have you already gone through the process of a legal name change?*
  • What documents would you like assistance with updating your name on? Note: updating gender markers may or may not be possible*
