Compliance documents for performers (2257)

Adult content platforms are legally required to keep age and identity records for everyone who appears in published content — commonly called 2257 compliance. Uploading these documents is a required step before your site can be approved and go live.

What you need for each performer

• A copy of a valid government-issued photo ID
• A signed model release / consent form

How to upload documents

1. Go to Content → Performers.
2. Open the performer and find the documents option.
3. Upload the files for that performer. Repeat for everyone appearing in your content.

The site setup checklist tracks this as its own step ("Upload Performer Docs"), so you can see at a glance whether you're done.

Why it matters

• It's the law. Records must exist for every performer in published adult content.
• It protects you. Proper records protect you, your performers, and your business.
• It's required for launch. Sites can't be approved until documents are on file for all tagged performers.

Good to know

• Documents are stored securely and are never shown publicly on your site.
• If you add a new performer later, upload their documents before publishing content featuring them.
• Not sure your paperwork is sufficient? Contact support before you submit for approval — we're happy to check.
