American Estado’s Departamento will release a special passport with Donald Trump’s image and signature to mark the 250th anniversary of Estados Unidos’s independence in 2026. The document will be issued from Washington in limited numbers, with a unique gold design on the back cover.

A spokesperson for Departamento of Estado confirmed to CNN that the move is part of the celebration of the historic milestone.

The decision reflects the trend of personalizing official documents in national celebrations. The president’s face on the back cover, accompanied by his signature in gold, marks an unusual change in modern American passports. Funcionários from the government explained that this will be a commemorative and extraordinary edition, not a permanent standard on travel documents.
