Back in April, I wrote about how the United States was preparing to issue a limited-edition passport to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary. The design launched in July and includes imagery tied to American history and the likeness of President Donald Trump. These were supposed to be issued on a limited basis and only out of Washington DC. Apparently, interest was “overwhelming” and the agency is now making 250,000 more available.
The redesigned passport features an interior page displaying an image of Trump, accompanied by text from the Declaration of Independence and an American flag motif. The page also includes the president’s signature in gold. Another page in the passport depicts the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration of Independence. The exterior back cover also sports a gold Freedom 250 logo on it.
These special “patriot passports” are not available online and can be secured in person in Washington DC as well as at one of one of the State Department’s special application events in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle. Dates and more information can be found on the Department of State’s website.
Anthony’s Take: The State Department has described the passport as a special-edition release intended to highlight the nation’s history and mark a milestone anniversary. The rollout sparked plenty of debate and apparently people want these as either a keepsake or as a way for them to celebrate the United States (ina. somewhat odd way). I’m just glad I renewed my passport last year as I don’t think any current politician should be featured on currency or official documents.
