Washington, D.C. — The administration of Donald Trump is planning to introduce a limited-edition series of U.S. passports featuring the president’s image, as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States, according to multiple reports published Tuesday.
The commemorative passports, tied to the “America250” initiative, are expected to include Trump’s portrait and signature within the booklet design, alongside patriotic imagery such as the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. flag. Officials familiar with the plan say the passports will be produced in limited quantities—estimated in the tens of thousands—and offered as optional collectibles rather than replacements for standard travel documents.
Current U.S. passports do not feature images of sitting presidents, making the proposal a notable departure from longstanding design conventions. Government-issued passports have traditionally emphasized national symbols, historical landmarks, and security features while avoiding contemporary political figures.
Supporters of the initiative describe it as a symbolic tribute to the nation’s milestone anniversary and to current leadership during the celebration. Critics, however, argue that including a sitting president’s image risks politicizing a document intended to remain neutral and universally accepted for international travel.
The State Department has not yet released final design images or confirmed distribution details, but officials indicate that standard passports—without presidential imagery—will continue to be issued as usual.
The United States will mark its 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, with a range of nationwide events, programs, and commemorations already underway.
