State Department Unveils America250 Passports at Trump’s Great American State Fair

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Department of State is allowing the public to view the new America250 passports at the agency’s booth at the Great American State Fair.

“Americans carry their passport as a symbol of who they are and where they come from. Now, our commemorative passport will also allow them to carry a piece of our history and our values wherever they go,” Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Mora Namdar said in a statement to the Daily Signal.  

“Under President Trump and Secretary Rubio’s leadership, the State Department is proud to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary by putting the story of our nation’s founding directly in the hands of American passport holders,” Namdar said. 

Americans can see the limited-edition passport and learn how to apply for one at the fair, which runs from June 25 to July 10 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

“The State Department is releasing a limited-edition commemorative passport that celebrates America’s 250th anniversary,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said. “This is more than a travel document, it’s a bold, patriotic statement reflecting the enduring legacy of our nation’s first 250 years and our ongoing commitment to lead, innovate, and inspire for the next 250.” 

Only 40,000 commemorative passports are available. They feature a Freedom 250 gold flag on the back cover, and a portrait of President Donald Trump framed by the text of the Declaration of Independence and the American flag, along with the president’s signature, on the inside.

The interior back cover features the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Starting July 6 and continuing while supplies last, this will be the default passport issued to any American who applies in person at the Washington Passport Agency.
