Legal Assistance

(April 2026: This page is under construction; please be sure to check back for additional resources and updates.)

Do you have questions regarding updating documentation, changing your legal name or gender markers, discrimination cases, or other legal assistance?

Please see Trans Unity Coalition’s Resource Map for information on legal clinics or assistance available near you.

Some common areas of legal need for the transgender community include:

  • Legally changing a name in your state
  • Updating gender markers on state identification such as a driver’s license, or national identification like a passport
  • Marriage licenses, new and updating
  • Fighting discrimination at work, school, a gym, on a job application, and elsewhere
  • Dismissing charges of hateful laws such as “public indecency” laws for simply walking on the street
