We live in WA state, but kids’ birth certificates are from Utah.  The advice from people in Utah for getting the birth certificate gender marker changed, is to have the court order for the name change to also include gender marker change.  There is no official path for doing that, but people write it in, when they do the paper work to apply for the name change court order in Utah, and in the past, people were successful in having Utah judges grant the gender marker change on the court order along with the name change, and then success using that to get it changed on the birth certificate.  Since we live in WA, we have to get the court order from the court we live in the jurisdiction of.  In WA, the laws for getting gender marker changed on the birth certificate, do not require a court order…so, I’m guessing not many people bother with trying to get the court order to include the gender marker change….they just get a court order for name change, and then follow the other steps set forth in WA laws for getting the gender marker changed on birth certificates and ID/Driver’s licenses.  Works great if your birth certificate is also from WA state.  But, I’m wondering if there are any other people here who needed that court order for gender marker change, because of laws in the state where the kid’s birth certificate is from, and had success getting it, from a WA court.  Did you do as the people in Utah have done, and just write it in/ add it to the name change form when applying for a name change court order?  Will a WA state judge be willing to add that to the court order?  Should I attach letters from doctor/therapist?  Should I include a written explanation for the need for a court order for gender marker change, since the birth certificate is from out of state?  Suggestions, experiences, or best guesses welcome.
