U.S. to Issue Limited 250th‑Anniversary Passport With Trump’s Portrait

Overview

• State Department officials confirmed Tuesday that a limited U.S. passport for the nation’s 250th anniversary will include an illustration of President Donald Trump with his gold signature.
• Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the special edition keeps the same security features and legal validity as a standard passport.
• News outlets report an initial release shortly before July 4 at the Washington, D.C., passport office, with 25,000 to 30,000 booklets expected, and accounts differ on whether in‑person applicants there receive it by default or by request while others can obtain the regular version.
• The booklet places Trump’s image on the inside front, over a backdrop of the U.S. flag and the Declaration of Independence, and it flips the usual cover text order with “United States of America” at the top and “Passport” at the bottom next to a gold 250 motif.
• The passport follows Treasury‑approved $1 coins bearing Trump’s likeness that drew legal scrutiny, and multiple reports say the new document would mark the first appearance of a sitting president in a U.S. passport.
