My Mom just picked up my new high-school diploma.

It sadly says “Neuausstellung für das Original-Abiturzeugnis vom 31. Mai 2011” (≈that it is a reprint) at the top, but other than that, this really means that the only remaining documents that I have to replace for my #legalTransition are my university degrees (bachelor and master of computer science). Other than that I think I’m actually done with everything that I really want to bother with!

And now I finally have my new ID!

The only remaining steps at this point are replacing my university and high school diplomas and telling my bank, neither of which has high priority right now.

(My bank uses initials everywhere, and those didn't change, so it doesn't affect anything in practice. Still: It might be useful to get this over with as well.)

And with that I now have a passport in my actual name and as a bonus the “Dr.” being listed (though they’ve really hidden that one away at this point).

It’s not quite as big of a milestone as when my name actually changed, but it is more a feeling of this now really being the beginning of the end of my #legaltransition.

The photo on it is ghastly though (made to meet both Dutch and German regulations so I could use it on both documents and maybe I shouldn’t have done it that way.

Anyways, I can now proof under all necessary circumstances with a proper identity document that every country on Earth will accept, that I am who I am and that that even includes being a doctor.

(I might post a picture later, but first I’ll have to take one and censor it.)

In other news I just received an email from the general consulate in Amsterdam that my passport is ready for pick-up and an okay from my boss that I can go there tomorrow and do so.

I now have a driver's license on my actual name.

And now my name is officially changed in the Netherlands as well, meaning that it (and my gender) have now been updated in the “Basisregistratie Personen” (BRP), from which a lot of places, very notably almost everyone in the healthcare system is pulling their data.

It will still take a while before it is updated with all my care providers (upto 24h), but this is now actually a thing!

I just received my new birth-certificates as well as a document that states that my name has been changed retroactively since the 25th of November!

I took an #unboxing video and may post that at some point once I censor some details in it.

I just received an AMAZING Email!

I am now legally a woman and my name is officially Fiona Johanna Weber!
