Gender Recognition Certificate service (OLD)

Note: This was the original GitHub repository for the Gender Recognition Certificate service.

The Gender Recognition Certificate service was original built by the Government's Equality Hub

In February 2023, the service ownership was transferred to HMCTS

HMCTS maintain their own fork of this repo

This GitHub repository will be archived and all new changes should be made to the HMCTS fork.

This is the code for the UK Government's Gender Recognition Certificate service.

The service is owned by the Gender Equalities Office (GEO) who have developed a public-facing application form to allow citizens to apply for a legally recognised certificate that acknowledges their acquired gender.
