Everything you need to know about OnlyFans release forms

If you’re an OnlyFans Creator and you’re thinking about collaborating with other spicy Creators, you need to know about release forms. 

With over 3 million Creators on the platform, collaboration is one of the best ways to grow your fanbase and make money on OnlyFans.

However, when featuring other Creators in your OnlyFans content, it’s important to understand why you need them to keep yourself and your collaborators safe and to have everybody on the same page when it comes to usage rights and getting paid. 

In this article, we’ll dive into what OnlyFans release forms are, why you need them, and how to fill them out. 

What are release forms?

Release forms on OnlyFans are important legal documents that define the legal responsibilities between the content creator (releasee) and the person featured in the content (releasor). 

These forms confirm that the co-stars in your content are legally of age (18 years and older) and have given their consent for their images, videos, and likenesses to be shared by you on OnlyFans. 

Let’s put this into context. When you feature someone other than yourself in your content. OnlyFans needs to know that everyone featured is over 18 and has willingly agreed to be part of the production and content-sharing. 

This verification process ensures the platform maintains a safe environment, and avoids hosting content involving individuals under the legal age.

In order to comply with legal requirements, OnlyFans mandates that Creators get signed release forms from anyone who appears or is heard in their content.

These forms confirm that the Creators have the necessary consent to produce and use the content commercially, especially when featuring their co-stars.

Commonly known as OnlyFans consent forms or 2257s, these embody explicit permission for using likeness, voice, or content within specified parameters.

Release forms are a crucial part of the legal process for Creators who work on collaborative content on OnlyFans.

They allow Creators to share joint videos, photoshoots, or live streams while protecting their legal rights. 

Signing a release form shows that all parties involved have given their consent and allows Creators to promote the content on social media or use it in future projects.

It provides the necessary legal framework for responsible content creation and sharing on OnlyFans.

Do I need an OnlyFans release form?

If you’re a solo Creator and haven’t featured anyone in your content, you don’t need to fill out a release form.

But, if you’ve got plans to work with other Creators or feature someone else in the content you’re producing, keep these two things in mind: 

• If they’re a verified Creator on OnlyFans, you can just tag them in the posts they’re featured in.

• If they’re not a verified Creator or you’d prefer not to tag them for whatever reason, you’ll need to submit their release forms as proof that they’ve given consent.

It's important to know that you don't have to fill out an OnlyFans release form for yourself since you already provided your information and consent during the sign-up process. 

However, when you upload content featuring Creators who aren’t verified or don't have a signed release form, OnlyFans gives you 48 hours to verify your co-star or upload the release form. 

If they’re not verified or if you haven’t submitted a release form within that time, OnlyFans will take the content down.

In the worst case, your account could even be restricted or suspended. 

Where do I find a release form on OnlyFans?

Once you’ve got your content planned out or already produced, you’ll need to get a release form directly on OnlyFans. 

Here’s how:

• Sign in to your Creator account.

• On the left-hand sidebar, select the “Release forms” tab.

• On the right side of the page, you’ll see two options: “Invite new user” and “New release form.”

• If your collaborators already have a verified profile, you can use the “Invite new user” option to create a link for them to verify their identity.

• If they don’t have a verified profile or if you’d prefer to use a release form, select the “new release form” option to download the release form as a PDF.

Once you’ve found and downloaded the release form, you’ll need to send it to any collaborators featured in your content so that they can sign it and provide their consent. 

If you or your collaborators are unsure how to fill one out, keep reading. 

How to fill out an OnlyFans release form

Once you have the form, have your co-stars fill it out and sign it. 

You can then submit the signed copies to OnlyFans.

Filling out a release form is pretty simple.

The form requires essential information about your participants (co-stars), like their legal name, ID details, date of birth, state/country, as well as the OnlyFans page of the Creator where the content is going to be posted.  

What’s important is that you have all the information there and that it’s accurate. 

Here’s what the release form should look like:

Make sure your release form is up to date by downloading the latest release form from your profile. 

With the details filled out, they’ll need to provide their signature as proof of consent and that they’ve agreed to the terms outlined in the release form.

Once your co-stars have completed and signed their respective release forms, the final step is to submit the signed copies to OnlyFans. 

It’s important to ensure that all signed copies are accurately and securely submitted, as this finalizes the consent process and allows OnlyFans to verify that you have the necessary permissions to feature your co-stars in your content—whether it’s an audio file, photo, or video!

How long does it take for a release form to be verified? 

Once you have all your release forms filled out and submitted, it’ll take roughly 3 to 7 days for OnlyFans to complete the verification process.

This is why it’s important to have all the information provided by the people you’ve featured in your content to be as accurate as possible to avoid any errors or delays.

Once it’s verified, you’ll receive confirmation that it’s complete.
