DescriptionNon-binary gender "X" is recognized on all official documents, but court order is required. A ruling of the Third Family Court of Santiago, issued on April 25, 2022, ordered the Civil Registry and Identification Service to register a 17-year-old adolescent with non-binary gender on the birth certificate, being the first judicial resolution of its kind in the country. On May 25, 2022, the First Civil Court of Santiago issued a ruling recognizing an adult person as non-binary and ordering the Civil Registry to rectify the birth certificate. On October 14, 2022, the Civil Registry officially issued to Shane Cienfuegos the first non-binary identity card with the marker "X" in the country. In May 2023, the first Chilean passport with a non-binary gender marker was granted to Valentino Victoria Liberona. "I" option for intersex children is available on birth certificates.
