flag Indiana bans gender marker changes on IDs starting Feb. 12, citing biological sex, sparking legal and civil rights concerns.

flag Starting February 12, Indiana will no longer allow gender marker changes on driver’s licenses or state IDs, per a new policy from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. flag The change follows Governor Mike Braun’s 2025 executive order defining gender as strictly biological sex at birth, aligning with a 2024 court ruling. flag Previously accepted documents like court orders or physician statements will no longer be valid. flag The move, which ends a brief 2018–2019 period when an “X” option was available, has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates who call it discriminatory and harmful. flag A class-action lawsuit has been filed, and officials warn that the timeline may endanger transgender and non-binary residents.
