“As the United States celebrates America’s 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed U.S. Passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said in an email to NBC News. “These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the U.S. Passport the most secure documents in the world.”

The special edition passport will be the default out of the Washington Passport Agency while it is available, according to a State Department official, while online options or other locations will maintain the existing passport design.
