Gendercast Episode 32: Identity Documents 101, Interview with QLAW Legal Clinic Chair, Denise Diskin
Join Sean and Jesse for an extended (1 hr, 45 minutes!) interview about navigating identity documents, with Denise Diskin. She will takes us through navigating name and gender marker changes on many different identity documents, including Washington driver’s licenses, birth certificates, social security cards, school documents and more. While many of the processes we outline are King County/Washington specific, we do cover some (United States) federal identity related documents and offer some general tips.
Please note: This is intended to be mechanical episode to help assist you in getting what you need out of the legal system when it comes to your identity documents. We do acknowledge this is a Seattle-King County-Washington-United States centric episode, as those are the resources available to us.
