About the Colorado Name Change Project Workshop*
Come learn how to file your name change petition in Colorado, as well as correct your gender marker on both state and federal identity documents! The workshop is led by an attorney who can answer your questions and guide you through the process. Also available is information for low-cost/pro bono attorney referrals and micro grants.
This event is primarily for adult name changes, but they can also discuss minor name changes, if needed. If you are interested in the process or interested in learning how to be a better ally to our trans and non-binary community, this is a wonderful workshop.
About the Colorado Name Change Project
The Colorado Name Change Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of transgender Coloradans, by assisting them with their legal name change and gender marker corrections. Through workshops across the state, pro bono legal assistance, nonpartisan advocacy, and innovative technology implementation, they seek to make being who you truly are easier to accomplish. Their goal is to increase access to resources, provide accurate information, reduce the bureaucracy, streamline the process, and reduce financial barriers for transgender Coloradans seeking to have their legal identity match their true identity.
*This is an informational event to help one understand the process to file a name change petition in Colorado, as well as correct gender marker on both state and federal documents. Additional steps will be required to complete the process. Resource links will be made available for follow up.
