Abstract
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the legal procedure for change of gender in Spain. Changing the biological sex of a person has become a common legal practice in some countries. However, the legislative solution is different. In Spain, the following approach is used: gender transformation is based on the social identity of the individual and is possible without therapeutic or surgical intervention. Currently, the judicial procedure for confirming the change of biological sex by a person remains in place, but the issue of amending the current legislation and introducing administrative regulations for this legal fact with attribution to the jurisdiction of civil registration authorities is being considered.
