Sec. 19a-42b. Amendment of out-of-state or foreign birth certificate to reflect
gender change. Probate court jurisdiction. Application process. (a) In the case of a
person who is a resident of this state and was born in another state or in a foreign
jurisdiction, if such other state or foreign jurisdiction requires a court decree in order
to amend a birth certificate to reflect a change in gender, the probate courts in this state
shall have jurisdiction to issue such a decree. When a person has completed treatment
for the purpose of altering his or her sexual characteristics to those of the opposite sex,
such person may apply to the probate court for the district in which such person resides
for a decree that such person's birth certificate be amended to reflect the change in
gender. The application to the probate court shall be accompanied by an affidavit from
a physician attesting that the applicant has physically changed gender and an affidavit
from a psychologist, psychiatrist or a licensed clinical social worker attesting that the
applicant has socially and psychologically changed gender. Upon issuance, such probate
court decree shall be transmitted to the registration authority of such person's place
of birth.
