Transgender , nonbinary and intersex Americans are facing uncertainty about the status of their passports.

The State Department has suspended the processing and issuing of all applications "seeking a different sex marker than that defined by the terms in the Executive Order ," a State Department spokesperson told USA TODAY .

Many people have said their important documents, including old passports, are still in the government's hands.

The new policy impacts the more than 2 million Americans who identify as transgender or nonbinary, according to the Human Rights Campaign .

For many transgender individuals, a passport serves as their primary form of identification.

The lack of a passport that reflects their new identity becomes another safety concern and barrier to essential services and travel.
