Trump unveiled the passport bearing his likeness on Friday, sharing a sample page which features a snap of him looming over the Resolute Desk.
The rendering also includes the text of the original Declaration of Independence behind Trump, as well as his signature at the bottom.
“The U.S.A.’s New Passport, which says, ‘Welcome, but be good!’” he wrote on Truth Social.
The opposite page of the passport includes an image of the “The Declaration of Independence” painting by John Trumbull.
The image shared by Trump was posted on the White House X account later on Friday, captioned “New U.S. Passport to Commemorate America’s 250th.”
The White House is yet to comment on or clarify which of the renderings is the accurate mock-up of the limited edition passport.
This latest passport rendering appears to feature a photo of Trump based on his portrait in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington - a different snap than the images released by the State Department earlier this year, which used a headshot of the president.
The Resolute Desk, featured in the new image, is used as the primary workspace in the Oval Office for the sitting president.
The 150-year-old desk was gifted to President Rutherford B. Hayes by Queen Victoria in 1880 and is crafted from the oak timbers of the British Arctic exploration ship HMS Resolute.
The limited-edition US travel document was initially announced in April to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, and was described as featuring “custom artwork and enhanced images on the front, back, and inside covers.”
It would be primarily issued at the Washington Passport Agency, according to officials.
The inside front cover of the traditional US passport features an image of Percy Moran’s painting of Francis Scott Key the morning after the bombardment of Fort McHenry — the battle that inspired Key to write the song that later became the US national anthem.
It also includes lines from the national anthem inside.
