| Description | Spain does not provide recognition for non-binary, and intersex people on a national level. However, three provinces have introduced such recognition: Canarias, La Rioja, and Navarra. Navarra became the first on June 29th, 2017, when Law No. 8 (2017) went into effect. Article 44 (1) and (2) state 1. "The Public Administrations of Navarra, within the scope of their powers, must adopt all the necessary measures so that the administrative documentation, in all the areas contemplated in this provincial law, is appropriate to the diversity of sexual or gender identity of LGTBI+ people and the heterogeneity of the family situation." |

Reports (2)
- Status is not correct "I just send information, but in "Andalucia" region page (https://www.equaldex.com/region/andaluc%C3%ADa) now i read this:
2. "Likewise, it must be guaranteed, in access to public services and benefits, that transsexual, transgender and intersex people can be named and treated according to the sex or gender with which they identify (be it man, woman or ANOTHER )."
But.....that doesn't implies non-binary gender in DNI."
- Status is not correct "The phrase ""gender identity of LGTBI+ people"", unfortunately, not implies recognition of non-binary people :(
