Petition Call for the DVLA to standardise gender identification on UK licences

Join us to campaign for gender equality. While licences for men start with their first name, all women have their first name prefixed with a marital status title such as 'Miss' / 'Mrs'. These options are selected at application stage, but whereby men selecting 'Mr' do not have this appear, women do.

More details

As a British National, only two forms of photo ID are recongnised; your passport and driver's licence. You driving licence is designed to be credit card sized, and in robust, thick plastic to be carried on your person at all times (unlike a paper passport). I love our country believe that in 2016 persons should be allowed to have their main, day-to-day ID display a fair indicator of the gender they identify with, rather than singling out women with a relationship status.
