The administration announced the expansion of 'Patriot Passports' featuring the portrait of President Donald Trump to 27 agencies nationwide.
The administration announced on Thursday that it is expanding access to the 'Patriot Passport,' a special commemorative travel document featuring the portrait of President Donald Trump. Originally released as a limited edition to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, the administration announced that it will issue an additional 250,000 of these passports to meet overwhelming public demand. While the passports were previously only available at the Washington, D.C. office, they will now be offered at 27 agencies across the country starting in August. The commemorative design includes a portrait of President Donald Trump at the Resolute Desk, his signature, and imagery celebrating the nation's founding. The expansion comes amid mixed reactions from critics. Some Democrats have criticized the administration for focusing on branded commemorative items while other issues, such as affordability, remain a priority for many citizens. Despite the criticism, the administration announced that the 'Patriot Passport' has generated extraordinary public interest, with thousands of Americans seeking to obtain the unique document.
