The U.S. State Department has introduced new passports featuring an image of former President Donald Trump. These passports are not available through standard application channels. Instead, individuals interested in obtaining one must visit the Washington Passport Agency in person and secure an appointment in advance.

This limited availability means the Trump-image passports are accessible only at this specific location and under controlled conditions.
