Some applicants designed their travel plans around the passport.
Blake Marnell, 61, a Trump fan from San Diego who is known for wearing a brick-patterned suit to the president’s rallies to show his support of a border wall, was among the first people to receive the commemorative passport, just before 11 a.m.
“I’m stoked!” Mr. Marnell shouted as he stepped out of the office, passport raised above his head. A handful of people gathered around him to examine its pages. Mr. Marnell said he planned to drive from Washington to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
Sami Aldawood, 37, became a U.S. citizen a week ago and came to Washington from his home in Austin, Texas, to get the Trump passport before flying to Britain on Monday night. Originally from Iraq, he said he supported the president because he was granted asylum in the United States during Mr. Trump’s first term, and citizenship during his second.
“I’m proud of it,” he said, flipping through the blank pages. “It’s been a long journey.”
But not everyone who wanted a Trump passport got one.
