Legal Gender and Name Change Support

The Pride Center of Terre Haute offers a Legal Gender and Name Change (LGNC) Support Team. 

 

We provide support for people navigating legal gender and name change processes so they do not have to do it alone. We provide general information, help with filling out forms, court support (accompanying people to court dates), connections to lawyers if needed, and continued support after the legal change to update other documents.

 

Below is a link to more information about the various legal name and gender change processes in Indiana. These are guides from Indiana Legal Services that provide detailed information about each step, as well as the necessary forms for adults and minors:
