U.S. passports with Trump’s picture will be issued to commemorate America’s 250th birthday
The U.S. State Department will issue a limited number of commemorative passports featuring President Donald Trump's image and signature to mark the nation's 250th birthday, with 25,000 to 30,000 available at the Washington, D.C., office starting near July 4. These special passports will have a unique design, including gold lettering and a '250' emblem, while maintaining standard security features. The move makes Trump the first living president to be depicted in a U.S. passport, part of a broader effort to elevate his public visibility. Standard passports will still be available through online applications and other locations.
