President Donald Trump has revealed the design of a new limited-edition United States passport that will be released as part of the country's celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.
In a post shared on Truth Social on Friday, Trump showcased a preview of the commemorative passport, which features his image alongside historical American imagery. The passport includes a message aimed at visitors to the United States, reading: "Welcome, but be good!", accompanied by Trump's signature.
According to the preview images released, one page displays a portrait of President Trump, while another page features an artistic representation of the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration of Independence. The design also includes the inscription "United States of America 250," referencing the nation's upcoming semiquincentennial celebration.
The limited-edition passports are expected to be introduced this summer as part of the broader America250 initiative, a nationwide program commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The initiative includes several major events and celebrations planned across the United States throughout the year.
Officials have previously indicated that the commemorative passport design will be available to eligible American citizens applying for passports during the rollout period, with availability continuing while supplies last.
The unveiling of the passport design comes amid ongoing efforts by the U.S. government to strengthen screening and entry policies for foreign visitors. Recent policy changes have emphasized that tourists and nonimmigrant visitors are expected to respect American laws, institutions, and regulations while visiting the country.
The newly announced passport design has already generated discussion online, with supporters praising its patriotic themes and critics questioning the inclusion of a contemporary political figure in a commemorative government document. The release is expected to remain a topic of public debate as the America250 celebrations continue.
