NC-300

This page assumes you want to change both your name and gender, and that you want to update your birth certificate. If not, it should be self-explanatory which options need to be changed.
 

The NC-300 form is your actual request to change your name and gender. Start by filling out the header as detailed here, and then do the following:

  • Under PETITION FOR RECOGNITION OF CHANGE OF GENDER AND SEX IDENTIFIER, check the two boxes labeled AND CHANGE OF NAME, and AND ISSUANCE OF NEW CERTIFICATES.
  • For number 1, put your current legal name next to (present name), and check the box for which gender you want to change to.
  • Check the box for number 4 and put the name you want to switch to after (proposed name)
    • For a, check the box labeled resides in this county
    • Check the box for b
    • Check the box for c
  • Check the box for number 5
    • Check the box for a, as well as the and change of name box under a.
  • For the checkboxes in the declaration paragraph, check the box for the gender that you want to switch to.
