When filling out American fingerprint cards, it is mandatory to indicate your gender. This gender identification is represented using a code consisting of a single letter. In the United States, various codes are used to represent diverse gender identities and situations.
Below is a list of the gender codes currently used on fingerprint cards in the United States:
F = Female: The code "F" stands for female and is used to indicate female gender identities.
G = Female with Male Reference: The code "G" represents individuals who identify as female but with a male reference.
M = Male: The code "M" is used to indicate male gender identities on the fingerprint cards.
N = Male with Female Reference: The code "N" denotes individuals who identify as male but with a female reference.
Y = Male, Not Reported: The code "Y" is intended for men who choose not to report their gender.
Z = Female, Not Reported: The code "Z" is used for women who choose not to report their gender.
X = Unknown Gender: The code "X" represents individuals with an unknown gender or those who identify outside the traditional male-female binary.
When completing American fingerprint cards, it is mandatory to provide a gender indication using a gender code. These codes range from the usual male and female identities to specific situations in which a person refers to a gender different from their own identity or chooses not to report their gender. Additionally, there is also a code for individuals with an unknown gender or those who identify outside the traditional male-female binary. The use of these gender codes on fingerprint cards contributes to capturing information for identification purposes while also allowing for gender diversity and self-identification.
