The State Department confirmed it is producing 25,000 commemorative passports featuring President Trump's portrait on the inside cover as part of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, with Trump's gold signature superimposed over the Declaration of Independence. This marks the first time a sitting U.S. president has appeared on passports, breaking with historical precedent and federal norms around currency and official documents. The move is part of a broader Trump administration effort to add his name and likeness to federal institutions and landmarks, including U.S. currency and military vessels, though most Americans polled oppose these changes. The passports will be available only initially at the Washington D.C. office to applicants who specially request them, with standard passports remaining available as the default option.
