Image source, US State DepartmentByGrace Eliza GoodwinPublished27 June 2026The Trump administration has unveiled a new limited edition US passport design featuring a photo of President Donald Trump to commemorate America's 250th birthday.

In a post on social media on Friday, Trump shared a photo of the passport's newly designed pages, one that includes an image of himself with his fists on the Resolute Desk with the Declaration of Independence in the background and his signature below.

The passports will become available on 6 July and only while supplies last, the US State Department said.

It's the latest in a series of moves by the president to mark American institutions - including federal buildings, websites, and documents - with his name or likeness.

"The U.S.A.'s New Passport, which says, 'Welcome, but be good!'" Trump wrote on Truth Social. The text "welcome but be good" does not appear in the images of the passport pages that Trump shared in his post.
