Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.
Reason for the nomination:
The image license is not valid because U.S. passport photos are not taken by government employees. Anyone applying for a passport has to get a photo taken of themselves, and mail it in to be used on their passport. The rest of the passport would be public domain, but the photo is not; given that this image is cropped to just the photo, it's not de minimis.
