Slight increase from 2023: 664 people changed their gender registration last year

For people under 18, there were 49 registration changes. Minors can also submit such a request if they are at least 16 years old, are assisted by their parents or their legal representative, and have a certificate from a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

Since January 2018, a trans person no longer needs to meet certain medical conditions to have their gender and first name modified on civil status documents and in the population register.

Previously, if a second adaptation was desired, the person had to turn to the family court and begin a cumbersome procedure.
