Limited‑Edition Trump‑Featured U.S. Passport Unveiled for 250th Anniversary

A commemorative U.S. passport bearing former President Donald Trump’s likeness is being issued for the nation’s 250th anniversary, with details on its release, appearance, and differing reports about a slogan.

A limited‑edition commemorative U.S. passport featuring a stern‑faced likeness of Donald Trump is being produced to mark America’s 250th anniversary. Former President Trump introduced the passport on Truth Social, describing it as “The U.S.A.’s New Passport, which says, ‘Welcome, but be good!’”.

The passports will be available on 6 July and can only be applied for in person, according to the BBC. NPR reported that they are offered exclusively at the Washington Passport Agency by appointment. The White House refers to the product as the “Patriot Passport,” as noted by the Guardian. Mother Jones described the passport’s image as a stern‑faced likeness of Trump. The AP confirmed that the passport is being released as a limited‑edition commemorative product and that Trump would be the first living president featured on a U.S. passport.

Democrats said the commemorative passports and a gold coin with Trump’s portrait were “more befitting a monarchy,” according to the Guardian.

Accounts differ on whether the passport includes the slogan “Welcome, but be good!”. Reports from Pakistan and Western outlets state that the slogan appears on the passport, while a social media source claims the slogan is not present. Bluesky also reported that the slogan is not actually on the passport.
