Depicted person documentation requirements and consent form template. Last updated: April 2026.
If you create, upload, or distribute content that features a real person other than yourself, you need documented proof that the person consented and is of legal age. This page explains what documentation you need, how to submit it, and provides a consent form template you can use.
This is not optional. It is your primary legal defense if a depicted person ever disputes their involvement in your content. Without it, you are exposed. With it, you are protected.
You need third-party consent documentation if any of the following apply:
You do not need third-party consent documentation for:
For each depicted person, you must collect and retain the following before the content can go into distribution:
An ID alone proves someone is 18 but does not prove they consented. A consent form alone proves intent but does not verify identity. The verification photograph ties the person, the ID, and the consent together. All three are needed to create a defensible record under 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and to protect you if a depicted person later claims they did not participate or were not of legal age.
The consent form must include all of the following elements to be valid. You may use the template provided below or create your own, as long as it covers every element listed here.
Submit depicted person documentation through the Lustify platform's depicted person documentation system. You can access this through your operator dashboard under the content compliance section.
When you submit documentation, our team reviews it before the associated content is approved for distribution. The review process typically takes 24–48 hours. If there are issues with your submission, we will notify you with specific details about what needs to be corrected.
Do not distribute content featuring a depicted person until their documentation has been reviewed and approved. Content distributed without approved documentation is a Tier 1 violation under our Content Policy enforcement system.
You are required to retain all depicted person documentation for the longer of:
Lustify also retains a copy of all submitted documentation in accordance with our Privacy Policy and legal obligations. However, our copy does not replace your obligation to maintain your own records. You must be able to produce documentation upon request by Lustify or any authorized legal or regulatory body.
A depicted person has the right to withdraw their consent at any time. When consent is withdrawn:
Failure to stop distributing content after a depicted person withdraws consent is treated as a Tier 2 serious violation under our Content Policy. The content is non-consensual from the moment consent is withdrawn, regardless of when it was originally created.
Consent withdrawal is absolute. The depicted person does not need to give a reason, and the operator has no right to dispute or delay it. The 48-hour window exists to give you time to identify and remove all affected content, not to decide whether to comply. If you cannot identify which content features a specific depicted person, you must err on the side of removing more rather than less.
If your content features more than one depicted person, you need separate, independent documentation for each individual. Each person must sign their own consent form and provide their own ID verification. One person cannot sign on behalf of another.
If one depicted person in a multi-person piece of content withdraws consent, the entire piece of content must be removed from distribution unless the withdrawing person can be fully removed without altering the remaining content in a way that misrepresents the remaining participants' consent.
You may use the following template. Copy it, fill in the bracketed fields, and have the depicted person sign it. You may also modify this template or create your own, as long as it includes all elements listed in the Consent Form Requirements section above.
