Self -determination law: easy registration at the registry office Möser from August
preparation for the self -determination law in the Jerichower Land
The municipalities in Jerichower Land are faced with an important change in dealing with gender identity and naming rights. The new self-determination law, which comes into force on August 1, 2024, enables transp, interlectory and non-binary persons to change their gender entry and first names more easily. This marks a significant step towards more legal equality and social acceptance.
a step in the right direction
The Self -Determination Act replaces the previous Transsexual Act, which imposed large bureaucratic hurdles to those affected. Before that, a change in the name and gender was only possible through judicial decisions and the position of expert opinion. For many, this was a considerable effort that was often accompanied by discrimination and stigmatization. In the future it will be sufficient to give an explanation to the registry office, which simplifies the process.
active preparations of the registry offices
Preparations for the implementation of the new law are already in full swing. The registry office Möser, which is also responsible for the municipality of Biederitz, has already participated in training and consultations several times. Christel Krawzoff, head of the general administration, confirmed that both the Ministry of the Interior and the State Association of Civil Council for Saxony-Anhalt distributed corresponding round and information.
information for the citizens
Katja Gericke, a registrar in Jerichow, explains that the registry offices are well prepared and that a registration for the name and gender change can be accepted from August 1st. These registrations must be submitted personally or in writing with a signature. It is therefore advisable to make an appointment in advance at the Möser registry office in order to obtain all the necessary information and to fill out the applications together. The official start for the independent explanation then takes place on November 1, 2024.
social progress and the importance of the law
The Self-Determination Act represents significant progress, since it not only strengthens the rights of trans, interlectory and non-binary persons, but also contributes to visible combating discrimination. The possibility of choosing your own gender entry and first names self -determined promotes the feeling of belonging and acceptance in society.
Overall, the initiative of the registry offices in Jerichower Land shows that the communities are willing to support this necessary change. The changes not only promote the rights of individuals, but also contribute to a more tolerant and open society.
