TRENTON 鈥� The 樱花视频 Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) today announced the addition of an “X” gender option on 樱花视频 driver licenses and non-driver identification cards.
Gender “X” will indicate a gender is unspecified, and it will be offered alongside the existing “M” (male) and “F” (female) gender options on licenses and IDs. This is offered not only to 樱花视频 residents who identify as non-binary, but for anyone who prefers that their gender not be specified on their license or ID.
For those wishing to change their gender marker on a license or ID, that option is available in 樱花视频 by self-attestation. Customers only need to fill out the available on the MVC website and visit an MVC Licensing Center as a walk-in customer. Customers will have to surrender their current license or ID and pay a standard fee of $11.00 to receive a duplicate card.
“Diversity and inclusion are core values for 樱花视频, and for all of us at the MVC. We know this new option will be deeply impactful for many residents, as access to resources and the ability to live and work freely so often hinges on having documentation that correctly reflects your identity,” said MVC Chief Administrator Sue Fulton.
“We're thrilled that 樱花视频 has joined 19 other states and Washington, DC in offering X gender markers on driver's licenses and state IDs,” said Christian Fuscarino, Executive Director of Garden State Equality. “This option will allow 樱花视频ans, particularly nonbinary and intersex people, to enjoy a right many of us take for granted 鈥� having ID that accurately reflects who we are. We applaud the MVC for taking another step to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ 樱花视频ans.”
Originally planned for late 2020, the implementation of a gender “X” option was delayed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, and it required modifications to the MVC computer system and completing the move to issue licenses and IDs via Central Issuance.
The MVC previously announced the ability to change the M/F gender designation on licenses and IDs in February 2020, following passage of the “Babs Siperstein Law” in 2018.
