| Description | It has been possible to have an X on passports since 2018, but doing so required hiring an attorney and going through a costly process. However, judges in Arnhem have ruled that a non-binary person does not have to involve an outside expert to assess whether they should be allowed to have X in their passport, rather than M or V. |

Reports (2)
- Note field is incorrect "The text/status is still confusing. Is a court/lawyer required for this or not? If it is, why claim it as "fully recognized" if availability is difficult?"
- Status is not correct "The status should be green with a cross, because requiring a court still means difficulties for most"
