President Donald Trump recently unveiled a new rendering of a special commemorative US passport bearing his likeness. The limited-edition passport is part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration.
The new passport appears to feature a rendering of Trump based on his portrait from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington. It differs from renderings released by the State Department earlier this year, which featured a different image of the president.
The White House directed questions to the State Department when asked if the latest image was the official rendering of the commemorative passports. The State Department has not commented on the matter.
Commemorative Passport Details
The inside front cover of the current US passports shows an image of Percy Moran’s painting of Francis Scott Key the morning after the bombardment of Fort McHenry. The new limited-edition passport will feature custom artwork and enhanced images on the front, back, and inside covers.
It is unclear if the new passport design will be widely available or only for those who renew their passports in person at specific locations.
