(1)
(a) An applicant may request an administrative change to the sex of a registrant on the record of live birth when the sex on the record of live birth does not match the gender identity of the registrant.
(b) The change of sex may be requested by:
(A) The registrant if the registrant is age 18 or older or an emancipated minor; or
(B) If the registrant is less than 18 years of age:
(i) A parent; or
(ii) The registrant's legal guardian; or
(C) The legal representative of the persons listed in paragraphs (A) or (B) of this subsection with a notarized statement from the person stating that the legal representative is authorized to act for them in this matter.
(2) An applicant may not request an administrative change to the sex of the registrant on the record of live birth if the registrant's sex on the record of live birth has previously been amended, except for clerical and typographical errors.
(3)
(a) The administrative request shall be supported by a form prescribed by the state registrar of the Center for Health Statistics that provides the information needed to:
(A) Establish the identity of the applicant;
(B) Establish the relationship between the applicant and the registrant;
(C) Identify the record of live birth to be amended; and
(D) Specify the changes requested.
(b) Information required on the application to identify the correct record of live birth to amend shall be the same information required to purchase a certified copy of a vital record in OAR 333-011-0273.
(c) The form must clearly identify the current sex on the record of live birth and the new sex to appear on the record.
(d) The applicant must affirm before a notary that the change is requested because the sex currently appearing on the record of live birth is different than the registrant's gender identity and the sex designation requested supports the registrant's gender identity.
