REAL ID Gender Requirement Reform Act
Sponsored By: Representative Norton, Eleanor Holmes [D-DC-At Large]
Introduced
Summary
State control over gender fields on IDs. This bill would let states decide whether to include a gender or sex field on driver’s licenses and state identification cards. If a state chooses to include the field, applicants would indicate their designation without extra documentation and the state would have to include an "unspecified" or "other" option alongside male and female.
Show full summary
- States would gain explicit authority to include or omit a gender/sex field on licenses and ID cards.
- People applying for IDs would be able to self‑select a designation without a doctor’s note or other paperwork and would see a non‑binary "unspecified" or "other" choice.
- State motor vehicle agencies would need to update forms and record systems to accept self‑designation and the additional option.
- A technical correction would update a cross‑reference in the Court Security Improvement Act to reflect the reordered sections.

Easier gender choice on state IDs
If enacted, your state could choose whether driver's licenses and state ID cards list gender. If your state adds this box, you could select male, female, or an "unspecified" or "other" option. You would not need a doctor's note or other medical papers to choose your designation. This would apply when you get or renew a license or state ID.
