For many transgender people the gender given on their birth certificate does not seem accurate or appropriate. It is now possible for people who were born in New Zealand to have that gender changed. (People born overseas may be able to get theirs changed by applying to the family court.) Cindy Lewis shows the new birth certificate issued to her in 2005, after she successfully applied for a certificate that accurately represented her name and gender rather than those she was assigned at birth.
