The US State Department is going all out with its celebrations leading up to the 250th anniversary of American independence. As part of its comprehensive efforts to engage Americans in festivities marking the significant milestone, officials will soon roll out new limited-edition US passport designs featuring President Donald Trump’s image.

One can’t go without encountering the MAGA leader’s face on government insignia these days. As the president continues his branding bid to mark almost anything one could imagine, the ‘America250‘ passports will add to the list of government-aligned programs and entities prominently displaying his name and identity. In addition to the Trump Gold Card, there has already been chatter about putting the Republican politician’s signature on new paper currency, a first for a sitting president.

As first reported by Fox News Digital, the brand-new addition to this series, the ‘America250′ passports are set to be released this summer. Mock-ups of the designs show the POTUS’ image over the Declaration of Independence. In addition to featuring the American flag, they also display Trump’s signature in gold. The US State Department has since also shared a glimpse of the new passport design on social media.Fe

Features of America250 Trump passports

State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott told Fox News Digital that the American passports specially designed to commemorate the historic 250th anniversary of the country’s independence will feature customised artwork and enhanced imagery. Nonetheless, he maintained that the identification booklets will have the “same security features that make the US Passport the most secure documents in the world.”

The commemorative passport’s cover has been altered to include enlarged words “United States of America” at the top of the document. Meanwhile, the back cover will have an American flag with “250” positioned between the 13 stars on the 1777 version of the flag.

About the availability of the new Trump passports

The forthcoming line of passport with Trump’s face will be released in July. Upon launch, they will only be available at the Washington Passport Agency.

The new ‘America250’ passport designs will reportedly be available for “any American citizen” applying for the document during the rollout schedule. Therefore, there will be no additional fee to obtain them. They will continue to be issued as long as availability lasts, according to Fox News.
