Overview
- The State Department, which released mockups Tuesday, said the special passports will roll out around July 4 and declined to say how many will be made or whether applicants can opt out.
- Renderings show President Trump’s face on the inside cover over the Declaration of Independence with his signature in gold, opposite John Trumbull’s painting of the signing.
- The Washington Passport Agency will issue the commemorative booklet by default while supplies last, while online applicants and other offices will continue to receive the standard design.
- Officials say the passports keep all existing security features used to verify identity and travel eligibility, and there is no extra fee for the limited edition.
- The release is part of the America250 campaign that also includes a planned U.S. Mint coin bearing Trump’s image and new paper currency that will carry his signature.
