U.S. to issue commemorative passports with Trump's picture for America's 250th birthday
The U.S. State Department announced a limited release 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 gold design and altered cover layout but retain standard security features. They will be the default for in-person applicants in D.C., though standard passports remain available through other channels. This move is part of a broader effort to feature Trump's likeness and name on federal buildings, currency, and official items.
