Release of Special Passport to Commemorate America’s 250th Anniversary

The Department of State is releasing a commemorative passport to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.  This special passport features striking custom artwork and enhanced imagery that honors our nation’s founding while maintaining all the advanced security features that make the U.S. passport the gold standard for travel and identity documents.

On Independence Day, July 4th, Americans across the nation and around the world are celebrating the 250th anniversary of our independence, a milestone that honors the enduring ideals of liberty, self-government, and unity.  The commemorative passport is a fitting tribute to America’s birthday, offering Americans a tangible connection to our founding and a symbol of the freedom to explore the world.   

This special passport invites Americans to carry forward that legacy, reflecting both our shared history and our ongoing commitment to lead, innovate, and inspire for the next 250 years.  

The commemorative passport is available to the American public starting July 6. More information at: travel.state.gov/passport250
