January 27, 2025 Update

On January 20, the President issued an executive order, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth, to the Federal Government, specifically addressing Gender X passports. The US Department of State has already removed some web pages that addressed Gender X, and we can likely expect more changes. As of today, the PDF passport application form has not changed, and X is still shown as an option. 

We do not have details on the timeline or process of how this order will be executed. We recommend that future travelers applying for a passport now select M or F as the US Department of State removed reference to X on their website travel.state.gov. 

Those who have already submitted a passport application and selected X may experience delays. Those with X passports may experience travel disruption as the US Department of State navigates the implementation of this Executive Order, and there may be validity issues with X passports.

We will follow the changes the federal government makes closely and update this page as new information becomes available.
