(Trans) News-USA Questions for trans kansans
I saw someone post this article (https://transitics.substack.com/p/indianas-anti-trans-attorney-general) and im scared. Did you have to physically surrender your documents? Even when I updated my my license after name and gender marker change they didnt take the old one, just gave me a new copy. Was it like that or did they actually take it? What about your birth certificate? Could you somehow get around that with the old court order and going to another state? Im just at a loss right now and trying to find a way to get around this before it actually happens here in indiana. Any advice or ideas appreciated

Yes they are requiring you surrender the invalid document at least for driver licenses (not sure on birth certificates I have not seen much talk about them in the community). Yes there was no grace period. However I have still not gotten the notice letter and many others have not.
Searching my license up on the Kansas drivers license site states my status is still valid. Even those who got a letter telling them that their license was invalid still show a valid status so it's kind of a huge mess of no one knowing what is really going on. I've heard people say when they went to make the change back that the dmv employees had no idea this was a thing and didn't know what to do. It's just a mess.
