Government to lift legal obstacles to registering gender change

Transgender people should be able to change their first name and gender easily without bureaucracy getting in the way, the Swiss government believes.

On Thursday it announced plans to modify the Swiss civil code to make such changes easier to register.

It means that anyone who is convinced that the gender they have been assigned in the civil register is not the right one for them should be able to change both gender and first names by means of a simple declaration.

No medical examination will be required for changes to the register.
