The first application packs for fast track and overseas gender recognition processes are now available from the Gender Recognition Panel (GRP).

Fast track applications are for people who have transitioned at least six years ago. For the first six months (i.e. until July 2005), the GRP will deal exclusively with these applications.

Application packs for the standard application process will be available in July 2005 and the first day that these applications will be assessed by the Panel will be on 4th October 2005.

GRA-info

To help people understand the process, Press For Change has created a guidance site, called GRA-info

The site includes answers to frequently-asked questions (FAQs), and an interactive expert system (Ask GRACE) — a questionnaire which will guide you through the application process. There is also a Roadmap which sets out all the steps as a flowchart.
