The ACLU encourages US transgender people to promptly update their passports following the blocking of an anti-trans passport policy by a judge. The US State Department has started to comply with this injunction, providing a new attestation form for individuals requesting gender marker changes. Those seeking to obtain an 'X' gender marker should leave the 'sex' field blank in their application. Applicants who received incorrect gender markers can correct this without additional fees and do not need a corrected birth certificate to make these changes.
The ACLU urged US transgender individuals to update their passports promptly after a judge blocked Donald Trump's anti-trans passport policy aimed at denying correct gender markers.
The US State Department began compliance with the court's preliminary injunction, facilitating a new attestation form necessary for requesting gender marker changes on passports.
The updated process allows individuals seeking an 'X' gender marker to leave the 'sex' field blank and mark the 'X' on the new attestation form.
Applicants who received incorrect gender markers can file for corrections using form DS-5504 without additional fees, and a corrected birth certificate is not required.
