Since February 15, 2023, gender self-determination is now in Spain from the age of 16.
Spanish MPs passed a law allowing people to change gender on their identity papers with a simple administrative declaration, without providing medical reports or proof of hormonal treatment.
The reform must also allow 14-16 year olds to freely change gender, provided that they are accompanied by their legal guardians.
In Europe, Denmark was the first country to grant this right to transgender people, in 2014.
