Statute overview

About this statute

A Spanish adult with sufficient capacity may request rectification of the registered sex; the request may also include a total transfer of the registry folio. The sex registry marker rectification process must follow this law and Civil Registry rules, and the application must include a new first name unless the person keeps their current name and it meets Civil Registry requirements. The Civil Registry officer at the applicant’s domicile is the competent authority for requests to correct the registered sex marker. La rectificación registral del sexo se acordará cuando la persona solicitante acredite diagnóstico de disforia de género y tratamiento médico durante al menos dos años, con excepciones específicas. A registered sex rectification takes effect once it is entered in the Civil Registry, lets the person exercise the rights linked to the new status, and does not change pre-existing legal rights and obligations.
