| Issue | Right to change legal gender |
| Status | Illegal |
| Start Date | (unknown) |
| End Date | Jan 31, 1981 |
| Description | Absence of statutory provisions and administrative procedures. Attempts to amend civil status data at the Civil Registry (Registo Civil) were treated exclusively as the correction of a clerical error from the time of birth registration (assento de nascimento). This approach made the official recognition of a new gender identity impossible. |
