Passport

On Friday, the judge ordered the State Department to issue passports to six of seven transgender and nonbinary plaintiffs while their lawsuit plays out in court. Maine state law still allows for a person to select X as their gender marker or change their sex designation on state IDs like drivers licenses.

In Maine, individuals can still get IDs and birth certificates to reflect their gender identity, but many are confused about how they align with new federal requirements and whether it's safe for them to travel.
