## Summary

**Restricts federal travel and citizenship documents to only "male" or "female".** This bill would bar the Department of State from issuing passports, passport cards, or Consular Reports of Birth Abroad with an "X" gender marker and require applications to offer only male or female. - Nonbinary people would be unable to obtain an "X" gender marker on a U.S. passport, passport card, or Consular Report of Birth Abroad. This can create mismatches with other IDs and complicate travel and identification. - Parents of U.S. citizens born abroad would see Consular Reports of Birth Abroad list only male or female, which determines how the child's federal record records sex. - People who use an "X" on state or foreign IDs could face inconsistencies between those documents and their U.S. passport when proving identity or citizenship across borders.

## Provisions PRIA read

- No 'X' gender option on U.S. passports: cost, low. The State Department would only offer "male" or "female" on applications for passports, passport cards, and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad. It would be barred from issuing these documents with an "X" gender marker. People seeking an "X" marker would not be able to get or renew documents with that…
