Trans Nebraska — Know Your Rights & Legal Resources

About This Opportunity

Trans Nebraska (transnebraska.org) is a dedicated resource website launched by the ACLU of Nebraska to empower transgender and gender non-conforming Nebraskans to understand their legal rights. The site provides step-by-step guides for Nebraska name changes (adult and minor processes), gender marker changes on driver's licenses and birth certificates, rights in schools and employment, and policy tracking on legislation affecting trans Nebraskans. Key legal information: Adult name change costs approximately $160 (filing fee + newspaper publication) and requires 1 year of county residency. Driver's license gender marker change requires a broad physician certification (not surgery-specific). Birth certificate gender marker change currently requires sex reassignment surgery in Nebraska.
