The Home Office is currently subject to a Judicial Review to introduce an alternative (X) ‘gender’ marking in the British passport for those who do not feel represented by the current ‘M’ (Male) or ‘F’ (Female) markings.

We are reflecting on the issues brought forward by the Judicial Review, and it would not be appropriate to comment on this issue at present.
