Many types of approvals have to be taken before gender change. Once a person decides to change gender, he has to prepare an affidavit for it. Information about gender change has to be given through this affidavit. In this notarized affidavit, information related to name, father's name, age and gender has to be given. If someone is working in a government department, then he also has to inform his concerned officer and department about this.
