Can I apply to change my name and gender on the Temporary Protection Permit (TPP) if they do not match my gender identity?

Yes, Venezuelan nationals, in accordance with Resolution 971 of 2021 of Migration Colombia, may request a change of name and gender in the PPT by means of a sworn statement before a notary, executed in a public deed, in which they state their intention to modify these data in accordance with their gender identity.

With the public deed, he/she may apply to the migration authority for the correction of the name and gender in the PPT, having to assume the cost of the new document, as established in article 23 of said Resolution. This procedure guarantees the right to free development of personality, identity and non-discrimination.
