President Donald Trump has released an updated image of the limited edition America 250 passports featuring his face and name.
The State Department first announced a passport featuring Trump in April, but the images shared Saturday are different. Trump will be the first living president to be featured on the U.S. passport. Here’s the latest:

What they're saying:
Both Trump and the White House shared an image of the new passport on social media.
In a post on X, the White House called it a "PATRIOT PASSPORT."
"The U.S.A.’s New Passport, which says, ‘Welcome, but be good!’ President DJT," Trump shared on his Truth Social account, though the passport images shared by Trump and the White House do not say "welcome, but be good."

The backstory:
The special Trump-bearing passport had been under consideration for months before it was announced by the State Department in late April.
The only presidents featured in current U.S. passports are in a double-page depiction of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Other depictions include the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in Philadelphia, and scenes of the Great Plains, mountains and islands. Current passports also contain quotations from Martin Luther King Jr. as well as Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower.
Timeline:
Between 25,000 and 30,000 of the new passports will be available to applicants at the Washington, D.C., passport office beginning shortly before July 4.

Big picture view:
It’s the latest instance of Trump having his name and likeness added to buildings, documents and other highly visible tributes. There are efforts to put Trump’s signature on all new U.S. paper currency, also a first for a sitting president, as well as to include his image on a gold commemorative coin to celebrate the country’s founding.
What you can do:
The commemorative passport will be the default document for people applying in person at the Washington office, although those who want a standard passport will be able to get one by applying online or outside Washington, officials said.
