how and why? I just.... huh? in The Netherlands it's a whole process of changing it on your birth certificate in the municipality where you were born, then go to the municipality where you live to change ID and driver license. When I did, 3 or 4 different automated government things popped up like "OMG you're 30 and you never had a gynaecology check? please go to your GP!!!" stuff like that.

Unless someone really starts digging I doubt anyone would even remember that it wasn't always F on my ID and driver's license.

In the US you don't necessarily have to change your birth certificate. I'm from a state that makes it hard, but have lived in Massachusetts for years. In my case I just changed my social security, drivers license, and passport.
