I was told this is because of the change in appearance, which a recent photo ID should reflect and match your photo for the passport.

This policy might have changed since Rufusboi and Thinker did theirs. So the Trans-equality site is correct.

I believe it did change. I went and did mine right after it was passed. When I looked at that list today, I thought it looked much more extensive and thorough.

Good information to have. Thanks, DL.
