Statute overview

About this statute

A person is treated as having a different gender identity than recorded if specified medical, age, nationality/residence, and partnership-consent conditions are met. If a person in a registered partnership has their gender determined, the partnership converts into marriage automatically. If a married person’s gender is determined, the magistraten must notify the person’s spouse. Magistraten fastställer könstillhörighet på skriftlig ansökan och ska genast registrera fastställelsen i befolkningsdatasystemet. A decision under this Act may be reconsidered under the Administrative Procedure Act, and the reconsideration decision may be appealed to the administrative court under the Administrative Judicial Procedure Act. Further appeal against the administrative court’s decision requires leave to appeal from the Supreme Administrative Court. Könstillhörighet som fastställts enligt denna lag ska gälla när annan lagstiftning tillämpas, om inte något annat föreskrivs.
