Legal recognition of non-binary gender: Intersex only from Jan 1, 2018 to now.
The Civil Status Act (PStG) was amended to include Parapraph 45b to allow intersex people to identify themselves as "diverse" ("divers") or remove the gender entry.
Germany is introducing a law (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz) that will allow transgender and non-binary people to change their legal first names and gender identity once a year through self-identification.
If the legislation passes, transgender and non-binary people in Germany will no longer require psychological evaluations to legally change their name and gender.
In this newly presented Self-Determination Act, 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.
