Sex or Gender Designation Change – Notarized Statutory Declaration in Ontario
To update your sex or gender designation on official Canadian documents (such as a driver’s license, birth certificate, or passport), you are often required to submit a statutory declaration confirming your identity and intent. This declaration must be notarized to be accepted by government agencies.
At Notarize Vaughan, we provide safe, respectful, and fully compliant notarization for gender designation changes — in person or online.
Why You May Need This Declaration?
You will likely need to notarize a statutory declaration when:
- Applying to change your
sex designation on your birth certificate (e.g., from M to F, or to X)
- Requesting a
gender marker change on your passport, driver’s license, or provincial ID
- Updating government records to reflect your
lived gender identity
Some applications also require that the declaration confirm your identity, the nature of your transition, and that your request is made voluntarily.
Who Requires This Declaration?
- Service Ontario (for Ontario-issued documents)
- Passport Canada
- IRCC (for immigration records and PR cards)
- Vital Statistics offices
- Employers, schools, and insurers requesting legal proof of gender change
What the Declaration Should Include
| We help ensure your declaration includes: |
|---|
| Your full legal name and date of birth |
| Previous sex designation |
| Requested new designation (M, F, or X) |
| A statement confirming that your request is voluntary and genuine |
| A sworn statement under oath (or affirmation) |
