Digital ID Laws Restrict Trans Access

As of March 2026, more than half of US states have passed age-verification and digital ID laws, and last month Kansas invalidated many trans people's driver’s licenses, requiring new IDs with incorrect gender markers. Tech policy experts and researchers warn automated ID checks, biometric scans, and facial age-estimation systems disproportionately fail trans people, lack transparency or appeals, and risk exposing sensitive biometric and identity data to third-party vendors and government agencies.
