HR 3924 United States House · 118th Congress

Passport Sanity Act

HR 3924, the Passport Sanity Act, requires the U.S. Department of State to issue passports, passport cards, and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad only with "male" or "female" gender designations, prohibiting the use of the "X" (unspecified) option. This bill directly affects individuals who currently apply for or hold U.S. passports with an "X" gender marker. The key provision mandates that all new applications and documents must use only the binary gender options, eliminating the existing "X" designation. The bill does not alter eligibility for passports but changes the gender marker options available on these specific travel documents.
