Bill overview
The Passport Sanity Act aims to standardize gender designations on U.S. passports, passport cards, and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad. It prohibits the Department of State from including the ‘unspecified X’ gender designation, requiring applicants to select either ‘male’ or ‘female.’ This legislation seeks to clarify and simplify the process for obtaining these documents. The goal is to reduce confusion and ensure consistency in gender identification.
