A '''United States passport''' is a [[Passport|legal document]] and form of identification issued by the [[United States]] [[State Department]]. It is one of the most powerful passports issued in the world, allowing holders to enter 118 countries without a visa as of 2018. <ref>[https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php]</ref>
This passport is exclusively issued to US citizens and nationals, and this includes those who hold [[dual citizenship]], who would have a passport from another country in addition to the US passport. One can receive a passport book, which can be used in all places the US passport can be used, or a passport card which is only valid within [[North America]].
In June of 2010, then-Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]] issued a policy change that allows transsexual people to lie about their sex on US passports. <ref>[https://transequality.org/press/releases/victory-state-department-changes-passport-policy] </ref> This policy has yet to be rolled back by the [[Trump Administration]], due in large part to social liberal former Secretary of State [[Rex Tillerson]] failing to do so. However, socially conservative incumbent Secretary of State [[Mike Pompeo]] could make the change.
