Municipality of Leiden: changing your gender on official documents

Please note: you can only change the registration of your gender if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

Amendment of the registration your gender on your birth certificate is free of charge. However, you do have to pay for a new identity document (passport, identity card, driving licence).

There is no fixed processing time. The municipality is often dependent on other authorities, for example if data has to be checked abroad. The official handling your request can give you an estimate of how long it will take.
