California DMV to offer ‘non-binary’ third gender option on ID’s
California residents will now have the option to apply for a third gender option on drivers licenses and ID’s in 2019.
The law, SB 179, was signed by Governor Jerry Brown in October 2017.
Drivers can now select male, female, or nonbinary on the application. The DMV can not require an applicant to provide gender documentation. Those who select nonbinary will get a card with an X in the gender category.
If you want to make the change, schedule an appointment on the DMV’s website. It’s estimated the third option will cost the DMV nearly a million dollars in costs.
