An additional 250,000 “Patriot Passports” will soon be available at more than two dozen passport agencies across the country.

The State Department plans to make a new batch of U.S. passports with President Donald Trump’s image available nationwide, citing an “overwhelming demand” for special editions of the travel document.

“Americans all across the country will now have the opportunity to apply for one of these additional special passports, known as the ‘Patriot Passport,’” the State Department wrote in a statement.

The passports were originally only available for in-person applicants at the Washington Passport Agency in D.C. The State Department is set to make an additional 250,000 accessible from 27 passport agencies across the country beginning Aug. 8. Appointments are required to apply.
