To commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, the State Department has unveiled limited-edition passports featuring President Donald Trump’s image inside the cover.
“As the United States celebrates America’s 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed U.S. passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said.
The limited-edition passports will feature Trump’s picture over a gold imprimatur of his signature to an interior page, while the cover will feature the words “United States of America” in bold gold print at the top and “Passport” at the bottom — a reversal of the standard cover.
Between 25,000 and 30,000 of the new passports will be available to applicants at the Washington D.C. passport office beginning shortly before July 4.
The commemorative passport will be the default document for people applying in person at the Washington office, although those who want a standard passport will be able to get one by applying online or outside Washington, officials said.
