Sex reassignment surgery
Since 2016, the Nevada Vital Records will issue a new birth certificate with a corrected gender marked upon receipt of two affidavits reflecting an individual's preferred gender. Sex reassignment surgery is not required to change gender on birth certificates. Similar changes to driver's licenses and state IDs are also permitted. In May 2017, legislation unanimously passed the Nevada Legislature to abolish the 1988 requirement for transgender people to publish their names in newspapers before they can undergo legal changes of sex on government documents.
