### sec.43 Action by registrar This section applies if an application is made to the registrar under section 39 or 40 to alter the record of sex of a person in the relevant child register. The registrar may alter, or refuse to alter, the record of sex of the person in the relevant child register. The registrar must refuse to alter the record of sex if— the alteration would result in the recorded sex being a prohibited sex descriptor; or the registrar reasonably suspects that the alteration is sought for a fraudulent or other improper purpose; or a record of the person’s sex has been altered under this part within the 12 months immediately preceding the day when the application is made.
