Key Points:
- The U.S. State Department announced plans to expand access to limited-edition passports featuring President Trump's image, initially released to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary.
- Due to high demand, with 30,000 inquiries since July 4, an additional 250,000 commemorative passports will be made available beyond the initial 40,000 issued in Washington.
- These "patriot passports" display a portrait of Trump, his signature, and the Declaration of Independence text, with the back showing the founders signing the document.
- The commemorative passports, issued at no extra cost, will be available by appointment at passport offices in 19 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., during August and September, but only for in-person applications.
- Applicants applying by mail, online, at post offices, or U.S. embassies and consulates abroad will not receive the commemorative version.
