Preparing to change your legal details can feel like a lot. This free prep pack is here to help you get organised before you begin.
The Forename and Gender Marker Change Prep Pack is a practical companion resource for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse South Africans preparing to apply for a forename change and/or alteration of a recorded sex description.
Rather than replacing official guidance or legal advice, this pack helps you prepare for the administrative side of the process: collecting documents, recording important information, planning your next steps, and keeping track of your application.
Inside the prep pack, you will find:
-
A document-gathering checklist
-
Space to record personal details, application references, and key contacts
-
A checklist for supporting documents and certified copies
-
Planning prompts for Home Affairs visits and follow-ups
-
A place to track submitted documents, receipts, and communication

Reminders to keep copies of everything you submit
