Watch: Caitlyn Jenner Ready to Change Name Legally?

Just call her Caitlyn Jenner.

In an exclusive preview from tonight's episode of I Am Cait, Caitlyn decides it's time to legally change her name and gender. She invites gal-pal Drian Juarez, a representative from the Los Angeles LGBT Center, to her house to discuss the procedure.

"You have to go through the court-ordered process, which has been streamlined a bit," Drian tells her. "Before you had to have gender-confirmation surgery before you could change your gender marker. There was advocacy done to change that and now you just have to have clinically-appropriate treatment to change your gender marker."

"After hearing all the struggles people go through because they don't have the proper documentation, I realized that I should be a little bit more aggressive in dealing with this issue of my identity," Caitlyn says. "I think it's time to get that process started."

Later, Drian continues to explain that once the court legally recognizes Cait in her new identity and she receives her IDs, she will be acknowledged as Caitlyn Jenner in every state. Exciting news!

Watch the clip above to hear how Cait will get her "golden ticket"!
