While not a specific organization, multiple organizations offer name change services including El/La Para Translatinas, which provides low-cost or free legal aid for name and gender marker changes. Many LGBTQ+ centers regularly host name change clinics. The process typically involves filing petitions, updating documents, and changing identification records. Services are often provided by legal aid organizations and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

Identify Affirmation Workshop

IAW was created to ensure that anyone who wants help updating their name and/or gender marker can access help. IAW will never turn away a client. They do not screen based on income. They are also proud to help people under the age of 18 who have the consent of their parents or guardian. Their services are free. The only costs you may need to pay are court filing fees and other related court costs. However, if you are low-income, financial assistance may be available.
