The United States Department of State is expected to introduce a limited-edition passport design featuring former President Donald Trump as part of celebrations marking the nation’s 250th independence anniversary.
According to a report by Fox News, the redesigned passport is intended as a commemorative edition tied to the government’s “America250” initiative. Mock-ups of the document shared on the White House’s official X account reportedly show Trump’s portrait on the inside cover, alongside excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, an image of the American flag, and a gold-colored reproduction of his signature.
Additional design elements include a page depicting a well-known artwork of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Founding Fathers.
The commemorative passports are expected to be rolled out during the summer, coinciding with anniversary-related events planned across the country. Proposed activities under the America250 programme include a Grand Prix event at the National Mall in August and a UFC event on the White House South Lawn in June.
State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the security standards of regular U.S. passports. He added that the cover design has been updated, with “United States of America” enlarged above the national crest, while the back cover will display the American flag with a “250” emblem centered among 13 stars inspired by the 1777 flag design.
A State Department official said the commemorative passports would be available to U.S. citizens applying during the rollout period, subject to availability, and issued exclusively through the Washington Passport Agency.
The launch is expected to align with July’s official anniversary celebrations, which will include nationwide events such as fireworks displays at Mount Rushmore.
While commemorative items such as coins and park passes are common in the United States, passports serve as internationally recognized travel documents typically valid for 10 years.
Separately, Trump’s name has previously appeared on several public institutions, including the Kennedy Center and the U.S. Institute of Peace.
