July 31 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of State announced it will expand access to the Trump passports, previously only available in Washington, D.C.
"In response to overwhelming demand, the Department of State is making an additional 250,000 of the special commemorative passports available to the public. Americans all across the country will now have the opportunity to apply for one of these additional special passports, known as the 'Patriot Passport,'" a press release said Thursday.
Passport offices in Centennial, Colo.; Chicago; Dallas; Detroit; Minneapolis; New Orleans; and Stamford, Conn., will host application events on Aug. 8. Other passport offices will do the same in later weeks.
The State Department announced the new passport in April, and a design was released in June that showed an image of President Donald Trump and an image of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The new design is to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.
