Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will update the passport office application process to replace the word gender and the options male and female with the word sex and the options male and female.
British passports are issued to include the person’s sex marker indicating whether they are male or female, in accordance with standards set by International Civil Aviation Organisation.
HM Passport Office currently has no plans to replace use of the word gender, or the male and female options, as part of the passport application process
