A letter from a licensed health care professional certifying that the requested gender designation is consistent with your gender identity. A licensed health care professional includes licensed counselors, nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, social workers, and therapists. This letter must include the following information:
- Health care professional’s full name, address, and telephone number;
- Health care professional’s license number and the issuing state, country, or other jurisdiction of the professional license;
- Language stating that the health care professional has treated or evaluated the individual in relation to the individual’s gender identity; and
