UK passports currently recognise only male and female genders. To introduce a third category, such a denoted by an ‘X’ in the passport, would require a change in UK primary legislation.
The Government is currently considering this issue as part of its response to the report on Transgender Equality by the Women and Equalities Select Committee.
