New Jersey S2247 allows graduating students to use preferred names on diplomas without requiring legal documentation.

New Jersey S2247 permits graduating students to request their preferred names on diplomas from public and nonpublic schools, institutions of higher education, and proprietary institutions. Schools and institutions are not required to request legal documentation for this change. However, they can deny a request if the preferred name misrepresents identity, avoids legal obligations, harms the institution's reputation, or is inappropriate. Former students can update their records and request reissued documents with their updated legal name or gender, provided they submit proper documentation.
