NON-COMPLIANT IMAGE

We can’t look into your rejected pictures. Nor can we see anything that is private to you.

Hello ClaudioRoberto,

Here are some things that should help you with your model release - when you got the non-compliant message from Adobe, you should also have received the model release notice. Hopefully, you will quickly clear your work for Adobe Stock approval. Best regards, JH

Requirements for a model release

You can download a model release template from the Adobe Stock Contributor portal, find it here, or route the model release for an electronic signature using Adobe Sign directly from the Contributor portal. The process is straight forward and there’s no need to download any software to make it work. For information, see Upload a model or property release.

Download our detailed checklist to confirm that you are including all required information:

Use this model release checklist to make sure that the forms you submit comply with our requirements.

Be aware of the following requirements:

• To assure legibility, print all names in CAPITAL LETTERS
• The name of the photographer must be the same as the Adobe Stock account holder name.
• Companies and agencies have the right to use different photographers/filmmakers. If you are submitting content as a company, your company name must appear next to the photographer or filmmaker’s name.
• If the model is under 18 years of age, you must obtain the signature of the parent/legal guardian. Try to get both parents to sign the release—one as the parent or legal guardian and the other as the witness. This precaution reduces the risk that one parent will try to revoke the consent given by the other.
• If you are a parent photographing/filming your child, you must print your name and sign twice: once as the artist and once as the parent.
• When photographing/filming a group, you need the names and signatures of each person on a separate release. For example, if you photograph/film the football team, the coach can’t sign for the whole group.
• The witness cannot be the model or the photographer. A signature from a witness is not required if you use the Adobe Sign feature to collect electronic signatures.
• All signatures must be dated and the dates must match.
• The moderators cannot accept a release that appears stitched together digitally.
• Model Releases must be submitted as JPEGs and titles must be fewer than 30 characters long.
• The ethnicity of the model.
• Information about the date and location of the recording session.
• Visual reference image of the model. A visual reference is required if you use the Adobe Sign feature to collect electronic signatures.

Optional, but recommended:
