If you own a Washington State driver’s license, you may change your sex designation by filling out the first section of Driver License or ID Card Change of Gender Designation Request. The “Physician” section must be filled out by your licensed medical physician, osteopathic physician, or psychologist. For more information, you may also visit the Washington State Department of Licensing website. Once your request has been approved, you have to visit a DOL branch and pay the $10 fee in order to have your sex designation changed.
The “Transgender Guide” booklet published by American Civil Liberties Union of Washington State is a great resources for more information related to laws applicable to transgender individuals.
