Courts are required by the Courts Act 2003 and Criminal Procedure Rules to ask defendants to provide name, date of birth and nationality (the latter now only after sentence and in circumstances specified by the relevant rule). If and once an individual is remanded or sentenced into prison custody, HM Prison Service records their legal gender. Where the individual\u2019s self-identified gender differs, this is also recorded, whilst making clear on the record that this is not their legally recognised gender.<\/p>
