| Issue | Right to change legal gender |

| Start Date | Nov 21, 2025 |
| End Date | (none) |
| Description | The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet updated its Valid Proof Documents to state "If your name, date of birth, or gender is different from what is displayed on your identity or lawful status document, you must show legal proof of the changes." If your making a gender change using state documentation, you are required to show either a court order, letter from a surgeon, or an amended birth certificate. If you are making a gender change using federal documentation such as a passport or resident/citizenship document, there shouldn't be any additional requirements as the documents are proof of identity and "validity of documents presented are verified through their respective agency". (Note: X markers are not recognized in Kentucky) |
