This signature is believed to be ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it falls below the required level of originality for copyright protection both in the United States and in the source country (if different). In this case, the source country (e.g. the country of nationality of the signatory) is believed to be France.
Note that this tag cannot be used on all signatures, as not all signatures are copyright-free.
This file is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is a legally valid French identity photograph.

This holds true whether the photograph was created by a photo booth or with the intervention of a human operator.
This file is in the public domain because the document is issued by a public institution and not an author, and therefore the document is assigned to the general interest according to French law
