Analysis
What the administration claimed
The Department of State will host application events at passport agencies and centers nationwide and appointments are required to apply for the "Patriot Passport."
Claimant: U.S. Department of State
Agency or office: State
Context
Official press release announcing expanded availability of a commemorative passport celebrating 250 years of American independence; describes passport artwork including a portrait of President Donald J. Trump and instructions for application.
Evidence
The claim is explicitly stated in an official Department of State press release. It is directly verifiable from the cited source (press release) and therefore well-supported. The claim is recommended for publication because the issuance (and the passport's inclusion of a presidential portrait) is politically sensitive and consequential for public understanding of the use of official government travel documents.
