Alberta - Change of Sex in Driver License
Advertisement
ProcedureEdit
- You will need to submit the required documentation outlined below to the Edmonton or Calgary Motor Vehicle District office for approval.
- Once approved, you may attend a registry agent for an updated operator license or identification card.
- Once your SRS is complete you must submit two affidavits: one from the surgeon or clinic that completed the procedure and one from your attending psychologist or psychiatrist, within 90 days of completion of the SRS.
- If you have decided not to complete the SRS, you must notify Motor Vehicles within 90 days of your decision not to complete the SRS.
- If your driver's license or identification card is up for renewal and you are still in the program with the intent to complete the SRS, you must provide updated documentation as shown below, dated within 90 days, otherwise your sex designation will revert to the original designation.
- Once approved, you have two options; have the sex designation changed on your card with no extension to the expiry date, or to avoid the replacement card fees, you may have the option to renew your drivers license early. If this option is chosen, the normal renewal fees are applicable. Please discuss this option with your registry agent to see if you are eligible. You must reapply with the appropriate documentation at your next renewal.
- To submit your application and documents you may take them to a registry agent and they will fax your documents to the district office. Optionally, you may also send your documents directly to one of the district offices below:
