Supreme Court rules Trump admin can mandate passports to display Americans’ birth sex | 6 Nov 2025 | The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can order U.S. passports indicate the holders’ sex at birth and remove designations for transgender and nonbinary individuals. In an unsigned order, the court stayed a pair of lower court rulings that prevented the administration from enforcing President Trump’s Day One executive order that “the policy of the United States [is] to recognize two sexes, male and female.” “Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth,” read the order, “in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment.”
