United States President Donald Trump is set to feature on a special edition of US passports being issued to commemorate America’s 250th Independence anniversary.

Reports say the limited-edition “America250” passports will carry Trump’s portrait alongside patriotic national symbols, including the American flag and the Declaration of Independence. The commemorative passports are expected to maintain all standard security features and will reportedly be issued in limited quantities.

The US State Department confirmed plans for specially designed passports as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence in July 2026.

The development has sparked reactions across the country, with critics arguing that featuring the image of a sitting president on official travel documents departs from longstanding democratic traditions.

The initiative forms part of broader “America250” programmes being promoted ahead of the anniversary celebrations.
