issue passports<\/a> with nonbinary gender markers or that reflect a person’s gender identity, current passport holders should still be able to travel with their existing documents.<\/p>\n“A foreign traveler\u2019s gender as indicated on their passport and their personal beliefs about sexuality do not render a person inadmissible. Claims to the contrary are false. Travelers must present an official government-issued travel document and be the rightful bearer of that document when seeking entry at a U.S. Port of Entry,” a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson told USA TODAY in an email.<\/p>\n
Still, trans and nonbinary travelers have previously reported more difficulty clearing customs in the U.S.<\/p>\n
“Border crossings have always been a top source of stress for trans and nonbinary travelers, and we’ve seen this anxiety increasing around travel to and from the U.S. We expect to see a similar reaction toward the U.K. after the Supreme Court ruling,” John Tanzella, president and CEO of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association, said in a statement. “One of our biggest challenges in providing advice is the lack of clear guidance from the government agencies travelers rely on. It’s incredibly frustrating.”<\/p>\n
