Full GRCs above relate only to those which are issued by the Panel.<\/p>

[1] Details of which track to apply to can be found here:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/apply-gender-recognition-certificate<\/a><\/p>

[2] Interim certificates are issued to successful applicants who meet the criteria for gender recognition but are a) not eligible to remain married following gender recognition because they were married under the law of Northern Ireland, b) eligible but either they and/or spouse have decided not to remain married after issue of full GRC, c) in a protected civil partnership where only one partner has applied for gender recognition (or where both have applied but only one was successful) or d) in a civil partnership but one which is not a protected civil partnership. In these circumstances once the successful applicant has ended their marriage or civil partnership, they can be issued a full GRC.<\/p>
