The US State Department will now offer passports featuring President Donald Trump’s image on the inside cover at special events across the United States.
The commemorative passports, which show a stone-faced Trump leaning over the Resolute Desk above his signature on the inside cover, were first announced in the spring and billed as limited editions to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary featuring “customized artwork and enhanced imagery.” The initial mock-up showed a different image of Trump.
The department began issuing the passports in early July to those who applied in person at the Washington, DC, passport agency.
“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 agency said Thursday. “Americans all across the country will now have the opportunity to apply for one of these additional special passports, known as the ‘Patriot Passport.’”
Americans will not automatically receive the commemorative passport.
