the abstention of the PSD, and the favourable votes of the remaining benches.
“During the year 2023, with a view to ensuring equality for
transgender people, nationals residing abroad, with regard to access and speed
of the request for registration to change sex and first name, the Government
carries out the necessary steps to ensure the standardisation of procedures at
the Posts of the Consular Network”, reads the PAN proposal.
The measure foresees that this will take place, namely in
relation to the completion of the application and recognition of the signature,
“so that citizens are autonomous in sending the application to the Central Services of the Institute of Registries and Notaries”.
