The Self-Determination Act (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz) applies (see: right to change legal gender).

The Self-Determination Act (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz) allows transgender, non-binary and intersex people to change their legal first names and gender identity once a year through self-identification. From the age of 14, minors may make the declaration themselves with the consent of their guardians; in order to protect the personal rights of young people, the family court can replace the parents' decision at the request of the minor in cases where the custodians do not consent, based on the best interests of the child. Children under 14 will need their parents or guardians to make a registry office application on their behalf. Outing or deadnaming one against their will in a way which caused them harm can be punished with a fine up to €10,000. People who went through the previous process can apply for a monetary compensation.
