If you’re renewing your passport this summer, you might be able to get one with President Donald Trump’s face on it.
The State Department is releasing a commemorative passport for the 250th anniversary of the United States’ Declaration of Independence.
The design includes Trump’s face on the inside cover, surrounded by the text of the declaration and the president’s signature in gold.
“As the United States celebrates America’s 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed US Passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said in a statement. “These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the US Passport the most secure documents in the world.”
