SASKATCHEWAN
The relevant legislation is the SASKATCHEWAN VITAL STATISTICS ACT. It requires a medical certificate of completed SRS from a physician licensed in the jurisdiction where the surgery was performed. (if this cannot be obtained, other documentation as required by the director of vital statistics); a certificate signed by a second licensed physician attesting that the person was examined and found to be of the target sex; and “any other evidence the director may require. With this, the sex on a birth certificate issued in Saskatchewan may be altered. The fee is $20.00 see Saskatchewan Health-Vital Statistics.
A person may change their name to one appropriate to their gender of identification without undergoing SRS or changing their legal sex assignment.
