About IAP

The Identity Affirmation Project was created by Boston law students to assist transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people in the name change or gender marker change processes in Massachusetts.

Anyone that has undergone a name change knows that the process can often be difficult to navigate. The IAP’s mission is to guide individuals step-by-step through the undertaking at no cost, providing peace of mind along the way. That mission is made possible by law student volunteers and the guidance of the project’s faculty advisor.
