Trans Lifeline

Transgender Resources · New Jersey · Free

1-877-565-8860 — peer-run hotline by and for trans people, plus microgrants for legal name changes and ID updates. Useful for people early in their transition needing connection, info, and affirming providers. Most ID-change clinics walk through SSA, state DMV, passport, and birth certificate in one session. Insurance coverage of gender-affirming care expanded significantly since 2020 — check your policy even if you think it's not covered. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
