Washington State residents who identify with genders other than male or female will have another option to select on their state ID.
People will be able to choose from male, female or gender X.
Governor Jay Inslee says the Department of Licensing will hold a series of public meetings to get input.
Officials say the gender X option could be implemented as soon as October.
The new option is also available on instruction permits and state-issued identification cards.
Other states that offer similar third gender options on identification include New York, Washington DC, California, Maine and Oregon.
