How do I fill out a model release for a child?

When a model is a minor (under 18 in most locations) at the time of signing, a parent or guardian must sign instead of the model. Fill out the model release following our usual instructions with these changes:

• Include the parent or guardian's name in the "Guardian Name" field.
• In the model information section, please provide the parent or guardian's contact information instead of the model's.
• Have the parent or guardian sign the release in the signature field. 

What if the model was a minor when you created the photo or video but is now an adult?

Once a child turns 18 (or the legal age of adulthood in your location), a parent can no longer sign the release for their child. A model who is 18 or older at the time of signing should sign their own model release, even if they were a child when the content was created.
