1 Some Texas officials have refused to amend the sex on birth certificates to reflect a sex change after the ruling Littleton v. Prange ; however, a judge can order an amendment.

2 In American Samoa, "the Office of Vital Statistics . . . may change the gender marker on a birth certificate with medical documentation of the change in sex."

3 Michigan requires a medical affidavit signed by a physician stating that the applicant has had "appropriate surgical procedures completed for gender transition to the new gender"

4 From May 2013 to March 2017 Missouri allowed, through court order via CASE 13AR-CV00240, a quiet workaround of Mo. Ann. Stat. § 193.215(9). The workaround from the original petitioning case has been reversed by mandate of the several courts and Missouri now requires sexual reassignment surgery to change gender.
