Trump passports: State Department announces they will be available throughout the US

Key Points:

• The US State Department is issuing special commemorative passports featuring President Donald Trump’s image on the inside cover, initially released in early July at the Washington, DC passport agency.
• Due to high demand, the department announced an additional 250,000 "Patriot Passports" will be available at special application events across the US in August and September.
• Americans must apply in person at these events or at the Washington, DC passport office to receive the commemorative passport; standard passports without Trump’s image remain available through other application methods.
• The commemorative passports were created to mark America’s 250th anniversary and include customized artwork and enhanced imagery, with Trump’s stone-faced image leaning over the Resolute Desk featured above his signature.
• The State Department reported receiving over 30,000 calls since July 4 from Americans interested in applying for the Patriot Passport, reflecting significant public interest.
