U.S. Passport Cover Design - Official Government Document #203859 (License: Personal Use)

The U.S. passport cover prominently features the Great Seal of the United States centered on a navy-blue background, with “PASSPORT” at the top and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” below the seal. The seal depicts a bald eagle holding an olive branch in its right talon (symbolizing peace) and thirteen arrows in its left (representing readiness for war), with a shield on its chest and a banner reading “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” This iconic design reflects American sovereignty and is standardized across all U.S. passports issued by the Department of State.
