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.
I don't carry my permit anywhere! I keep a photocopy in my purse as a sort of vague evidence that could be backed up by producing the real one, but a lot of the time (taking the kids to school, etc) I don't even have that with me.

Do you have a link, please, stating that it's the law to carry it? I'm very law-abiding so like to follow the rules for a simple life, but I've never come across this.

Thanks a lot
