The United States President Donald Trump has presented the design of a limited-edition commemorative U.S. passport to mark the country’s 250th anniversary of independence, featuring his portrait.
Trump shared a rendering of the passport on his Truth Social platform on Friday, describing it as America’s “New Passport” and adding the message: “Welcome, but be good!”
The proposed design shows a portrait of Trump leaning on his desk alongside his signature, with the text of the Declaration of Independence forming the background. The image is believed to be based on an official portrait taken by White House photographer Daniel Torok.
The opposite page features an illustration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, with the inscription, “United States of America 250.”
The White House also posted the design on its official social media accounts, referring to it as the “Patriot Passport.”
The U.S. State Department had earlier announced that a commemorative passport with custom artwork would be introduced from July 6 as part of events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
However, the department has yet to comment on the specific design unveiled by Trump.
A State Department official had previously disclosed in April that the commemorative passports would only be available through in-person appointments in Washington, D.C., and would be issued while supplies last.
The passport design is the latest in a series of efforts by Trump to leave a personal mark on U.S. government institutions.
During his presidency, banners featuring his image have appeared outside several federal buildings, while the Treasury Department announced plans to place his signature on the one-dollar bill.
Trump also sought to attach his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, although a court later ruled that it should be removed.
If the passport is released in its current form, Trump would become the first sitting U.S. president to have his likeness featured in an American passport.
