Delaware
DELAWARE Statute: Del. Code Ann. Tit. 16: 3131 (2004)
Delaware will change both name and sex, and will issue a new birth certificate rather than amend the old one.
You will need an original letter from your SRS surgeon, and an original, or certified, copy of the court order for your name change.
Administrative Code: 40 700 049. Regulations for Title 16, Chapter: Relating to Vital Statistics Regulation 10.9 (d)
(d) Upon receipt of a certified copy of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction indicating the sex of an individual born in Delaware has been changed by surgical procedure and whether such individuals name has been changed, the certificate of birth of such individual should be amended by preparing a new certificate. The item numbers of the errors that were amended shall not, however, be identified on the new certificate or on any certified copies that may be issued of that certificate.
