Frequently asked questions

A place to verify your ID once and share it with producers only for the shoots you accept. Producers find you by stage name, invite you to a production, and you say yes or no. After you accept, you sign your model release and 2257 form in the app.

Because once it is sent, it is out of your hands. A photo in a text thread or an inbox can be forwarded, and a photocopy stays in a filing cabinet for years. You have no record of who has it.

With Performers Plus, a producer gets your ID only through a production you accepted, and your Shoots page shows every production you were invited to and what you answered.

Only members of a production company we have checked, and only for a production you accepted, while that production is open. When the producer closes the production, it no longer gives them access to your ID.

Other performers and the public never see it. Your public profile is just your stage names and your photo.

Yes. US law requires every producer to keep records of each performer's ID, so the producer downloads copies for their records while the production is open. Once downloaded, those copies can't be recalled by you or by us.

What Performers Plus changes is how they get it: only through a production you accepted, from a company we have checked, with a record on your Shoots page.

Your ID photo, legal name, date of birth, document number and signed documents are encrypted with AES-256. Each record is encrypted under its own key, and those keys are locked by a separate key-management service, so the stored files and database are unreadable on their own.

Everything travels over HTTPS. Your ID is decrypted only to show it to you, or to a checked producer for a production you accepted. Copies a producer downloads are held by that producer, outside Performers Plus.

A current government photo ID that shows your date of birth, such as a passport, driving licence or national ID card. You must be 18 or over.

Persona, an identity-verification company. You photograph your ID and take a selfie in Persona's secure flow, and Persona sends us the result. It usually takes a few minutes.

Your account goes back to unverified and you stop appearing in producer searches. Verify again with a current ID and you're back.

Once your ID is verified and your profile has a stage name and a photo, checked producers can find you by searching any of your stage names. If you would rather not be found, for example because you work on the production side, you can opt out of the directory on your Profile page.

Yes, by e-mail. You create an account with that address, verify your ID, and then accept or decline. You can decline without verifying.

For each production you accept: a model release and a 2257 form. You sign them in the app, a member of the production company countersigns, and you can download your copy whenever you want.

US federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2257) requires anyone who produces sexually explicit content to check every performer's ID, and to keep records of their legal name, date of birth and every name they have worked under. The 2257 form is where you give that information for a production.

No. Performers Plus works in any modern browser. On your phone you can install it to your home screen and turn on notifications. Notifications never name a production, a person or an amount, because they can show on a locked screen.

Use a password you don't use anywhere else, and turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) with an authenticator app in your account settings. You'll get recovery codes to keep somewhere safe in case you lose your phone.

Create an account, verify your own ID, and register your production company. We check every company by hand before it can search for or invite performers: we look it up in its official business register and speak to a named officer of the company on a live call.

Create the production, add performers from the directory or by e-mail, and send the invitations. Each performer sees the production, the cast and their own pay, and accepts or declines. Once they accept and sign, you countersign their model release and 2257 form in the app.

Yes. The owner of the company account invites members by e-mail, and every member uses their own login.
