New Jersey S3428 allows graduating students to use preferred names on diplomas without needing legal documentation.
New Jersey S3428 permits graduating students to use preferred names on diplomas from public and nonpublic schools, institutions of higher education, and proprietary institutions. Students are not required to provide legal documentation to use a preferred name. Schools or institutions can deny a preferred name request if it misrepresents identity, avoids legal obligations, harms the school's reputation, or is inappropriate. Former students can update their records and request reissued documents with their updated legal name or gender upon providing proper documentation.
