A model release
that says
what it means.
Most releases fail on scope, not signatures. The ProntoID template records territory, medium, purpose and term as explicit choices — signed by identity-verified people, without anyone emailing a passport.
The template,
section by section
Illustrative wording with sample data. Have your counsel approve the final version for your jurisdiction and content.
The Model grants the Photographer the right to use photographs and recordings of the Model made during the Production identified above, only within the scope set out in section 3. Any use not expressly permitted in section 3 is not granted by this release.
The Model declares that they are at least 18 years of age, that the identity verified by ProntoID is their own, and that they have read the scope above. Where 18 U.S.C. § 2257 applies, the Photographer remains responsible as producer for the records the regulation requires.
The Model may notify the Photographer through ProntoID that they wish to withdraw this consent. Notice is recorded against this release and passed to the Photographer and to platforms linked to the content. The effect of withdrawal depends on applicable law; it does not affect uses that were lawful before notice was received.
Built around the ways
releases actually fail
Scope as fields
Medium, territory, purpose, term and naming are explicit choices, not a paragraph nobody rereads. A platform can read them; a person can check them in seconds.
Closed by default
AI training, biometric enrolment, sublicensing and publication of a legal name start as “not permitted” and have to be opened deliberately.
Both sides verified
Model and photographer sign with ProntoID-verified identities, so nobody can later claim someone else signed.
A real withdrawal path
If circumstances change, withdrawal is recorded against the release and routed to the people who need to act.
Why scope matters so much is set out in how model releases quietly fail.
Three steps,
one shoot
Start from the template
Create a release in ProntoID from the template and link it to the production.
Set the scope
Choose medium, territory, purpose, term and how the model is named. Sensitive uses stay closed unless you open them together.
Send for signature
Show a QR code on set or email a link. The model verifies, reviews the scope and signs; the sealed record appears in your dashboard.
