SLCY Gender-Affirming Name Change Clinic

If you would like to attend the upcoming gender-affirming legal name change clinic provided by Southern Legal Center for Youth on Friday, October 24, from 1:30pm-4:30pm, please complete the registration form below by Friday October 10, 2025 to express your interest.

You will receive a confirmation email after you register. 

The clinic will be held in person at a location by the Brookhaven/Oglethrope MARTA Station. Specific location information will be provided after signup.

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

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.

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.

A Note About Your Information: 

We want you to know that the following questions are completely optional and your answers (or choice not to answer) will not affect your eligibility for our services in any way. This demographic information helps us better understand how racial and gender identity intersect with legal challenges in our community. We use this anonymized data in reports that help secure funding to continue providing free legal services and to better advocate for systemic changes. Data is only used anonymously to protect your privacy. We invite you to share what you're comfortable with - your comfort and trust are important to us.

While our upcoming clinic focuses on name changes, SLCY offers a broader range of legal services to support young people. If you're experiencing other legal challenges, our legal intern can connect with you to provide support in these areas. 

Thank you for taking the time to complete our intake! The SLCY Team will follow up with you regarding your other legal needs. We look forward to seeing you at the Name Change Clinic on October 24.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or would like to speak with someone, you can reach out to us at hi@slcy.org or (404) 436-2140.
