Liverpool’s LGBTQ+ community offered free name change service

Liverpool’s trans, non-binary and intersex community are being offered a free name change service.

The “game-changing” service will help people take the first important step in their social transition and is being delivered by Cheshire and Merseyside Adult Gender Identity Collaborative (CMAGIC) and MSB Solicitors. The two companies joined forces to offer their assistance to those across parts of the North West region.

While the process of name changing itself is free, individuals who wish to match their name on official documents to one that matches their gender identity, usually require help to complete online forms. As a result of this, companies offer their advice and guidance in return for a payment. However, in some cases, the individual’s money is wasted as often the documents don’t get accepted as they’ve been filled out without the help of a professional.
