Gender Recognition Act 2015
On 15 July 2015, the Irish Oireachtas passed the Gender Recognition Act 2015 (), which permits Irish citizens to change their gender on government documents through self-determination. The law does not require any medical intervention by the applicant nor an assessment by the state. Such changes are possible through self-determination for any person aged 18 or over who is ordinarily resident in Ireland and/or registered on Irish registers of birth or adoption. Persons aged 16 to 18 years must secure a court order to exempt them from the normal requirement to be at least 18
