These countries allow non-binary gender on passports like in US
'Equality of all people'
As he made announcement of the new gender option, Department of State Spokesperson Ned Price said that this step is ensuring equality of all people.
"I want to reiterate, on the occasion of this passport issuance, the Department of State's commitment to promoting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people -- including LGBTQI+ persons," said Price
A widespread practice
At least 15 countries; Argentina, Austria, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and Nepal; already allow citizens to select the third gender on passport through a legalised process.
Medical certificate needed in some countries
India, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Colombia allow people to use third gender identifier by presenting a medical certificate
Dutch lead the way
The Netherlands was the first country to issue gender-neutral passports in 2018.
Gender markers to be removed
The Dutch government announced last year that gender markers will be removed from passports in next five years. This move is aimed at reducing harm that comes the way of non-binary or trans people.
