The information will not identify the person. A birth certificate drawn from the registrar of gender recognition will not indicate it was drawn from the register and to all intents and purposes it will look identical to a birth certificate drawn from the registrar of births. We have a draft and we will be quite happy to show it to committee members if they are concerned. Only the person himself or herself, or his or her surviving next of kin, may apply for a birth certificate from the register of gender recognition. We are very cautious with regard to confidentiality. We looked at this quite closely at every stage to ensure we have protected the confidentiality of the individuals.
