Trans+ Youth Resources: NJ ID Guide
Trans+ youth and their families, by necessity, are researchers. Information regarding IDs, name changes on legal documents and in schools and beyond can be difficult to find, interpret, and even be incorrect at times. MIB4Y is working with families to collect their experiences and we will publish vetted resources here. Use our form to submit comments or resources as part of this initiative. Please see the below resources for statewide resources and contacts.
