What is the procedure?

you must have a psichiatric certificate with GID diagnosis. With this certiricate you can begin the HRT without any other need. There are some Public Hospitals that follow transgender fromt the beginning to the end of medical transition. After/During HRT, if you want to have new certificates, you MUST go under legal judgement that allows to undergo to SRS (for FtM it is often enaugh mastectomy and hysterectomy). After obtaining the legal authorizations you can put in a "waiting list" for undergoing SRS in a public hospital (free), or you gan go privately. After surgery, if yo want to have a new certificate, you must go again in front of a Judge for having sex and name changed. There is no way to have change of name or sex without SRS in Italy even if law (n. 164/82) doesn't spcify this duty. But there is only one or two cases in Italy in which some judges have given permission without srs, in case of people with mortal diseases.
