The bigger challenge will be what the insurance company accepts. That is, they may need a letter from a surgeon indicating "necessary surgeries".

Exactly (insurance).
All states are different. I live in a state where if your therapist or a physician signs a form, you can get your license changed to your correct gender marker.
I always tell my clients to make sure that when they give their driver's license and insurance card for medical care, that they make sure the provider bills the gender marker the insurance has.
For birth cert for FTMs my state requires top surgery. For MTFs, bottom surgery.
