Make all DVLA documents fully gender inclusive

Petition Details

Change the V5C, Diving licence and any other DVLA documents drivers might require, to allow people to choose an appropriate prefix or title, including gender-neutral options. Modernise driver license numbers to allow for non-binary drivers to be fairly recognised on their licence.

Additional Information

Mr, Miss, Mrs & Other are typically the default options. Not including a gender-neutral option (e.g. Mx) as standard risks excluding non-binary drivers.
Women must choose a title which reflects their marital status (Miss or Mrs), while men can choose Mr, which doesn't. This is sexist. The option Ms should be added so women don't have to be defined by their marital status.

Driver license numbers contain a single digit which denotes the driver as either male or female, excluding non-binary.
