Trump Launches New U.S. Passport Featuring His Own Portrait

President Donald Trump unveiled a rendering of a new limited‑edition U.S. passport on Friday to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary of independence. The mock‑up features a stern‑facial likeness of the former president.

“The U.S.A.’s New Passport, which says, ‘Welcome, but be good!’” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform that displayed the passport mock‑up.

The image shows a glowering Trump leaning on his desk, signing his name, with the text of the Declaration of Independence in the background. It appears to be based on a portrait taken by White House photographer Daniel Torok.

The opposite page depicts a painting of the declaration’s signing in 1776, with the words “United States of America 250.”

The White House posted the same passport rendering, labeling it “PATRIOT PASSPORT.”

The State Department, which had previously announced that a commemorative passport with “custom artwork” would be available from July 6, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In April, a department official said the Trump‑themed passports would only be available at in‑person appointments in Washington “for as long as there is availability.”

Trump has aggressively stamped his personal brand on government institutions, with banners of the president flying outside several government buildings, and the Treasury Department saying his signature will soon appear on the one‑dollar bill.

Trump also added his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts—until a court ruled that it should be removed.

He will be the first sitting U.S. president to appear on Americans’ travel documents.
