The U.S. State Department will expand distribution of a commemorative passport that includes President Donald Trump's portrait and a gold-stamped signature, making it available at 27 passport agencies starting in August.
The State Department announced that beginning next month, 27 passport agencies across the United States will issue a limited-edition "Patriot Passport" that displays a portrait of President Donald Trump and marks the nation’s 250th anniversary. Previously, the special passport was only obtainable at the Washington, D.C., office for in-person applicants.
"In response to overwhelming demand, the Department of State is making an additional 250,000 of the special commemorative passports available to the public," the department said in a statement.
The new passports will be offered at one-day events in locations including Centennial, Colorado; Chicago; Dallas; Detroit; New Orleans; New York; and Stamford, Connecticut, with additional sites added throughout August. Applicants must appear in person on the designated day, while regular passport applications will be processed on separate days.
The commemorative version features Trump’s image and a gold-imprinted version of his signature on an interior page, a gold-laminated American flag and the number 250 surrounded by stars on the back cover, and a reversed cover layout compared with standard passports. Current U.S. passports depict Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and include quotations from historic figures.
The inclusion of a sitting president’s likeness marks the first time a living president has appeared in the travel document, joining other recent efforts to place Trump’s name and image on public items such as a commemorative coin and proposed currency designs.
