Part of Florida.Florida document routeCare rules in Florida

Miami-Dade has several LGBTQ community organizations, a trans-led group that helps with name changes, and sliding-scale clinics for PrEP and STI testing. Hormone therapy options are limited by Florida's physician-only and in-person consent rules, so call clinics before visiting. Name change petitions are filed with the Miami-Dade Clerk at the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center downtown.
