Affidavit of Indigency - If You Cannot Afford The Name Change Court Fees
If you need to go to court, but you cannot afford the fees and charges, you may not have to pay them. The court can “waive” the fees, or ask the state to pay the normal court fees.
The court can also waive or ask the state to pay for “extra” fees. You must fill out a form called an Affidavit of Indigency. This form tells the court you cannot afford the fees related to your case.
If the clerk or a judge approves the form, you will not have to pay. You can get an Affidavit of Indigency form and the Supplement to the Affidavit of Indigency form here online.

How To Change Your Gender Marker - Drivers License or Massachusetts ID Card
To change the gender marker on your state issued identification, you need to submit an application together with a
Gender Designation Change Form, signed by you and a medical provider attesting to the gender that you consider yourself to be. The medical provider should be a licensed physician, therapist or counselor, or psychiatric social worker. A copy of the Gender Designation Change Form is available from MTPC or at the RMV.
You are no longer required to submit medical proof of sex reassignment surgery or an amended birth certificate. The next edition of the Registry of Motor Vehicles Driver’s Manual will reflect the new policy.
