Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-42b: Amendment of out-of-state or foreign birth certificate to reflect gender change. Probate court jurisdiction. Application process.

(a) In the case of a person who is a resident of this state and was born in another state or in a foreign jurisdiction, the probate courts in this state shall have jurisdiction to issue a decree of a change of sex. Such person may apply to the probate court for the district in which such person resides for a decree that such person's gender is different from the sex designated on such person's original birth certificate and that such birth certificate be amended to reflect the change in gender. The application to the probate court shall be accompanied by the following documents: (1) A written statement from the applicant, signed under penalty of law, that the applicant's gender differs from the sex designated on the original birth certificate; and (2) a notarized affidavit by a physician licensed pursuant to chapter 370 or holding a current license in good standing in another state, an advanced practice registered nurse licensed pursuant to chapter 378 or holding a current license in good standing in another state, or a psychologist licensed pursuant to chapter 383 or holding a current license in good standing in another state, stating that the applicant has undergone surgical, hormonal or other treatment clinically appropriate for the applicant for the purpose of gender transition. Upon issuance, such probate court decree shall be transmitted to the registration authority of such person's place of birth.

(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the authority of the Commissioner of Public Health to amend birth certificates in accordance with section 19a-42.
