Trump unveils new commemorative passports featuring his image
The State Department says about 25,000 to 30,000 will be issued at one Washington office while standard passports remain available elsewhere.
- On Friday, June 26, 2026, President Donald Trump unveiled a limited-edition 'Patriot Passport' to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, featuring his portrait superimposed over the Declaration of Independence.
- State Department officials confirmed 25,000 to 30,000 passports will be available at the Washington Passport Agency starting July 6, following an initiative first announced in April.
- This document marks the first time a living president appears on a U.S. travel document, with interior pages featuring John Trumbull's Declaration of Independence painting, Trump's signature, and the phrase 'Welcome, but be good!'.
- Critics, including journalist Philip Bump, questioned the 'welcome' message, noting passports are issued to citizens, not foreign visitors, as the design sparked widespread online backlash regarding politicization of travel documents.
- This initiative follows previous efforts to affix Trump's name to national park passes and federal buildings, as such branding projects frequently face legal and political scrutiny regarding civic identity separation.
