US passport for transgender youth

In January 2025, the Colorado Name Change project reported via Facebook:

**IMPORTANT**

It appears that the US State Department is no longer processing gender marker correction applications and have been instructed to confiscate the supporting documentation submitted as a part of the application.

Unfortunately, it appears that the ability to get a US passport that accurately matches your gender is not currently possible. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates, but at this time we do not recommend applying for a corrected passport.

We will be updating our website ASAP with this development.
