It has already been announced: the limited-edition U.S. passports featuring Trump’s image are set to start being issued on July 6, 2026, and only while supplies last. They are being handled in person at the Washington Passport Agency, not through normal online or mail applications.

What’s known

  • The State Department said the special passport is tied to America’s 250th anniversary.
  • It is available only to U.S. citizens.
  • Applicants must book an in-person appointment in Washington, D.C., or attend select special acceptance events.
  • There is no extra fee for the commemorative version.

Important caveat

This is a limited commemorative design, not a replacement for all regular passports. The reports say it will be available only in limited numbers and until supplies run out.

Timeline

  • Announced: late April 2026.
  • Public release: July 6, 2026.

So the practical answer is: they start printing/issuing them on July 6, 2026.
