Applicants to U.S. passports will now be able to self-select their gender as “M” or “F” without medical certification, even if their gender doesn’t match other identity or citizenship documents.

On Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the updated procedures for the issuance of U.S. Passports, as well as Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, would begin “most immediately.”

“The Department of State is committed to promoting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people — including LGBTQI+ persons,” Blinken said in a news release, noting that Pres. Biden has taken a number of executive actions to protect LGBTQ rights in the U.S. and abroad since he took office earlier this year.
