Being straight with you: the DVLA and passport letters are cover letters — a driving licence is changed with the free D1 form, and a passport needs a new application. The letters make the paperwork easier, not different.

Common questions

Can I get an X gender marker on a UK passport?

Not currently. As of 2025, UK passports only carry M or F gender markers. The UK government has not introduced an X marker option. This may change as a result of ongoing legal challenges, but the binary-only policy stands at present.

Can I change my name to a gender-neutral name on my passport?

Yes. A deed poll allows you to change your name to any name, including a gender-neutral one. The name on your passport is entirely separate from the gender marker. You can apply for a passport in a gender-neutral name using your deed poll in the normal way.

Can I request the title Mx on my UK passport?

Yes. HM Passport Office accepts Mx as a title on passport applications. Updating your title to Mx is a separate request you make when applying for or renewing your passport; your deed poll covers the name change, and you note your preferred title on the application form.

Does a Gender Recognition Certificate help with a passport gender marker change?

A GRC enables a change of gender marker on a passport between M and F. It does not enable an X marker. For non-binary people who do not identify with either binary marker, a GRC does not currently resolve the passport gender marker question.

What can I do now while the policy on X markers hasn't changed?

You can change your name to a gender-neutral name, use Mx as your title, and update all other records (driving licence, bank, NHS, employer) with your deed poll and preferred title. The gender marker on your passport is the one area currently outside your control under existing UK policy.
