Identity Documents -- Alberta
The governments of Alberta and Canada each have different responsibilities regarding government-issued identity documents. Albertans or people living in Alberta who have changed their sex will need to update one or more government-issued identity documents.
Alberta is responsible for issuing birth certificates to individuals born in Alberta, as well as operator's (driver's) licenses to qualified drivers operating within Alberta. Other certificates--such as marriage certificates--may also need to be amended.
