Re: transgender and moving to Geneva--what can I expect?

Only the residence permit, which by law you must carry in any case (even inside CH). Does it state gender ... um, not sure, I don't think so ... my permit is in my car, downstairs, through three locked doors ... I'll get back to you if someone else doesn't.

Search this forum re. carrying the permit, by the way -- you'll find some interesting info. Being American, I believe you would get the new credit card-style permit which makes it a lot easier to carry.

EDIT: Beaten by seconds by Buttercupbananatush! Anyway, I can confirm that you do need to carry your permit at all times. Theoretically.
There is no law in Switzerland making the carrying of ANY paper with you mandatory. There are thousands of people who do NOT have a passport, do not drive and whose identity-card is somewhere at home. Clear however is that to have some identification with you can be of advantage. Particularily if you happen to "look foreign"


And here some links about and for transgender people
