Copyright[edit]

Passport photos, while taken by a third party, are taken to government specifications and may not meet the "threshold of originality" that would allow a copyright in the name of the person operating the shutter or the company providing the service. Or they may. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Janisjoplin.png was deleted even though it was a US passport photo. In 2019, Kinga Kijak-Markiewicz wrote: "passport photos are not subject to copyright."[1]. However in 2020, this sentence was removed.[2]

United States Passport Applications from 1795 to 1925 have been made available by the National Archives and Records Administration. Passport photos were required starting in 1914 with World War I.
