Tennessee Non-Drag Storyreader Registry

FAQs

Am I eligible to join the registry?

The only eligibility requirement is that you must not be a drag performer. Tennessee State Law defines "drag performer" as "male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest."

Is there a registration fee?

No! Registration is free!

How do I join the registry?

Registration is simple. Just gather all of the necessary materials and head over to the Registration page, which is also accessible from the homepage.

What documents do I need to apply?

In order to certify that you are not a drag performer, we will need to verify that your appearance, gender, and biological sex all match. As such, we will need documentation of your assigned sex at birth and your current gender identity, as well as a current headshot AND a photograph of your genitalia.

The most efficient way to provide this information is by submitting a copy of your birth certificate, as well as a photo in which your head, your gentialia, and a valid government-issued ID is visible. Click Here to See Example

Will my verification photo appear in the registry?

No. Your photo will be used exclusively for back end verification. Once approved, your verification photo will be permanently deleted and you will be asked you submit a headshot for the registry.

Are there other options besides the verification photo?

Not yet. We will soon accept chromosomal blood test results. However, we will require that the test be done in our own lab in order to prevent fraud. Additionally, the applicant will agree to cover the lab fees, which, because they are elective, will likely not be covered by insurnace.
