I'm new to the Adobe Contributors Platform and just recently registered. I have enoromous amount of photography I did many years ago in Archive. I like to use my photography as a new Adobe Contributor because it's beautiful work from two decades of work. I always had paid models sign a release which I have documented. But the question I see when looking a Adobe Contributors Guidelines; they ask that photo id be provided along with the sign model releases. I don't have copies of id's with my sign model releases from past works. Like I said I have tons of past work and I have never been asked to provide that before. Most of the works are from 1998 to 2010. Will the signed models release be sufficent for the guidelines?

Correct answer MatHayward

With the exception of nude photography, we do not require an ID card in addition to the release. Please let me know if you have found documentation online that contradicts that so I can take a look.

Is it possibly you are referencing the recommendation for a reference photo on the release? If so, this is not mandatory either.

See HERE for more information on release requirements.

Kind regards,

Although Mat is saying that a reference photo is not required on the release, when I try to use the Adobe Sign release, that process does require what it calls a Portrait. It won't let you submit the release for emailing without that photo.

You do not need the ID card, but you need a reference picture of the model. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/model-release.html

Thank You Nancy for reply, it's appreciated. I've worked both in the fashion and music industry for 20 yrs. and back in the 90's and mid-2000's we cheched State ID's and Drivers License for the Purporse of 1099's for Payment, Taxes and Age. Once Models were verified and for privacy purposes, the models signed the releases prior to photoshoot. There was no mandatory adding of ID's added to Model Release Forms.

Addemdum. I'm still trying to figure out this platform, so please forgive the grammatical errors. They don't allow for edits once you post.

You mean you didn't get a copy of their ID to verify they were legal adults at the time of filming? Or a signed release and ID from their legal parent or guardian? OUCH!
