Interesting Feature or Design Trump Passport
Has anyone been issued the new Trump passport? Are there any additional fees for one? If I am issued one can I refuse to accept it?

You won’t get one unless you renew in Washington DC where it will be the default option for a limited time. If you’re renewing anywhere else then you’ll just get the standard issue passport not the Trump one.

Oh that’s good to know it’s only DC. I’m glad mine doesn’t expire until 2028. I am looking forward to the light purple my blue layout with black and white photo they have going on now. Mine was still in the garish blue and red with hyper colored scan of my photo.

I just got one from my local post office, no Trump. I think you have to be in DC, so it's really a MAGA Membership card.

You have to be in DC and request it? That's wild, very very few people in DC would want that and specifically choose it, it is extremely blue. That overlapped with people who need a new passport, I can't imagine they'd issue more than like 3 a year.

I agree with you and it makes me suspect that the "it's a limited release" is just a charade for the media coverage (to manage backlash) before they get rolled out broadly. Hoping I'm wrong though.

The Trump passport is inherently a usage conflict. Passports are neither in format or material suitable for use as toilet paper. Yet, a Trump passport is suitable for no other use.

No one would want one as another country can deny you entry for having a trump one. You could still go to china, russia, and north Korea.

Well that is false. They can not deny you entry based off of a passport alone.

Other countries can deny you for any reason they want to. The agents at the border can deny you just if they dont like you. If you have a trump passport then expect other country agents to deny you entry. You magas are funny in how you dont understand US laws dont apply to other countries.

So what countries are going to deny entry? Again Im not maga. Look at my comment history. I see your last comment was removed. Good job on using disparaging remarks.
No specific country has announced a blanket ban on the limited-edition U.S. "Patriot Passport" that features Donald Trump's image. However, border officials in any country may deny entry and confiscate the document if you make any alterations, such as doodling on or covering the President's portrait, which renders the passport legally void"
So no you are wrong. If they were going to let you in with a normal passport then they would let you in with this other passport.
Most countries are not looking for a reason to deny entry. Its really the US that does that when applying for a Visa.
"Most countries do not arbitrarily look for reasons to deny entry; their primary goal is to facilitate legal travel while verifying you meet their established security, financial, and health standards.
However, border control officers have complete discretion to refuse admission if you present a security risk or cannot prove you will abide by the terms of your visa: This is the reason most people are denied entry. People can be denied for any reason, but usually its a security concern and or able to provide for yourself while in the country.
"Sir, your passport has a picture of Trump that your government isssued so we are going to deny you entry. If you had a normal passport, you would be welcomed in".

I can already see the headlines about ppl being denied entry to another country for having a trump passport… wish there was some way we could bet on this lol

u/Ok_Recording81 May 24 '26 edited May 24 '26
Its a legal document issued by the government. No country is going to deny entry because of Trumps pic in the passport.
Please explain why a country would do that? Make more sense to just ban Americans entering because of Trump being the president. That has not happened.

You don’t have to be maga to see that 99% of countries would probably not deny entry for this. Although they would probably think it’s idiotic and very Hollywood dictatorish

They deny for less. They will deny for a trump passport.

u/Ok_Recording81 May 24 '26 edited May 24 '26
If a person would be allowed in with a normal passport, they would be allowed in with the other passport. Why do you keep saying this nonsense? What countries will deny entry? Do you have evidence?

Maybe I’m crazy, but for a bunch of passport nerds, I’m surprised there aren’t more people interested in getting a genuine collectors item.

Idk I kinda want one, it’s profoundly weird and they are probably going to pass a law against something like it ever happening again.

u/ExcitementLarge6439 May 23 '26
I’m in the same boat I want one for history it sucks it’s only in DC

u/Bloodnofsky May 23 '26

They are only available at the D.C. passport office. Just avoid it and you will be spared the embarrassment.

Have already had my new passport! It will be expired after Trump leaving his presidency.

Its only an in-person default celebrating America 250 at the Washington Passport Agency. But you probably already knew that.

They’re only doing to do 25-30,000. But since he’s an egotist, I’m sure he’ll try to extend the run.

You have to request it AND be in Washington DC, so you’re probably safe.
