EU Court: Gender change must be recognized across borders --[Reported by Umva mag]

Brussels – An EU country must recognize the change for a person who has changed gender and name in another EU country, the EU court states in a recent ruling.

“A member state’s refusal to recognize a legal change of gender identity in another member state hinders the right to reside and move freely,” the ruling on Friday states.

Specifically, it concerns a case where a person with British and Romanian citizenship was recognized as male in the United Kingdom but was then denied by the authorities in Romania when he wanted to have his first name, gender, and personal identification number changed there as well.

The court does not see the fact that the United Kingdom has left the EU as an obstacle, as the changes were made when the country was still a member.
