HARRISBURG, Pa. — Non-binary will now be a gender option on Pennsylvania driver’s licenses and ID cards, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Thursday.
“In keeping with its dedicated efforts to provide commonwealth citizens with fair and equitable services, PennDOT announced today that it now offers a non-binary gender designation option for its driver licenses and photo identification cards,” a news release said.
Gender designation options on Pennsylvania drivers licenses and photo ID cards will now be “M” (male), “F” (female) or “X” (non-binary).

People who would like to change their gender designation should fill out Form DL-32, “Request for Gender Change on Driver’s License/Identification Card,” and bring it to any PennDOT Driver License Center to complete the process. The signoff of a medical or social service provider is not required.
“PennDOT is taking a very important step towards better serving Pennsylvanians of all gender identities. By removing barriers to make these changes, we are providing Pennsylvanians the agency to live their lives as their true selves,” Rafael Álvarez Febo, executive director for the Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs, said in a statement.
Pennsylvania joins 16 other states in offering a non-binary option, according to PennDOT.
