              And then there are those of us who have been paying attention.....

              1 is required, 2 is against the rules and currently under legal debate.

                  See this is the problem with the law as it is. Just no one knows. Is there an article or anything about the legality of asking for 2 ids Aaron?

                    To All Our Valued Photographers,

                    We have revised our forms to be used in association with all our future
                    shoots.

                    Attached is our current 2257 Compliance Form, Model Release,
                    Photographer Agreement and Model Bio. Please take a moment to print
                    these out and review them prior to any scheduled shoots in case you have
                    any questions.

                    The main difference on the 2257 form is that we are now requiring only
                    one form of identification. Our lawyer has advised us that only one
                    Government Issued Id is required and that including more than one ID in
                    2257 records may actually violate the provision which requires that all
                    other non-required records be kept separate from 2257 records §75.2(e).
                    In addition, asking for a second ID may result in inconsistencies
                    between the two IDs. Please keep in mind that a clear, good-quality
                    photocopy of the ID must be attached to the form and the photocopy must
                    be signed in ink by the Model (If the ID does not contain a recent and
                    recognizable picture of the Model, only a Driver's License, State ID
                    Card or Military ID will be acceptable for U.S. Models and only a
                    passport will be acceptable for foreign Models).

                    Also, please make a mental note to check if the Models have filled in
                    their Maiden name on the 2257 form if applicable as a good percentage of
                    these Models have been or are married.

                    Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with these new
                    forms.

                    I've been wondering when somebody was going to do their 2257 this
                    way. The secondary piece of I.D. has never been required and maintaining the two I.D.'s together has been frowned on since day
                    one. You are the first clients I have had do this. It's nice to
                    see somebody who is trying to pay attention to the law for once.


                    Aaron

                    We have been wondering if anyone else is using it. You are right, the
                    second ID was just adopted by the Adult Industry for some reason. I
                    never knew until our lawyer pointed it out when I questioned him on the
                    new forms, but apparently you did. hehe And you know more about 2257
                    than most so it is nice to know that we are covering each other's asses
                    here. Have a good one and see you in Phoenix I hope.

                        I'm sure there are several resources for that. That's why some of us have attorneys.

                          I used to think so. These days I hardly pay any attention to 2257 threads. I got sick of beating my head against the wall trying to help these people.

                          Fuck em.

                            Been in the business for at least 3 years and still doesn't know what is required by 2257.

                            This industry is FUCKED if they ever decide to check on the small guys.

                                        I have one. We've just always got 2 when we shoot a girl, but only send one to the client. That was just to protect our own asses since everyone said to do it. I think the reason people started pushing that was the risk of fake id is less if you ask for 2.

                                            Thanks Aron, I just came here to double check since my content provider is a well known reliable one...

                                            So when I shoot I will keep it to 1 ID in the pic of the model. (I hope I got it right)

                                            Ihave a meeting with an industry lawyer on monday so hopefully he will clear everything up for me....


                                            Once again.. thanks for the help

                                              Hire a Canadian lawyer too to make sure you aren't breaking Canadian laws. You'd be surprised how many overlap. You have to decide which is the bigger evil.

                                                  We do what is required. In fact we go beyond that and do pre interviews with the girls on video, we video tape them signing the releases and ask them on video if the id they presented us with is correct etc. That video and all the forms go on a dvd that is marked with the shoot number that goes on the customer invoice. So what happens if they decide to change it to 2 ids?

                                                      They only need one ID to verify the model during a 2257 records check, so that's all they require.

                                                      Any documentation beyond that is for your own standards of security.

                                                      The FBI agent had said you won't get into trouble for having too much documentation. There are of course those who say it's a conspiracy and the DoJ will prosecute for having one extra piece of paper.

                                                          From the electronic Code of Federal Regulations as provided by gpoaccess.gov, with emphasis added:

                                                          +++++
                                                          § 75.2 Maintenance of records.
                                                          (a) Any producer of any book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, digitally- or computer-manipulated image, digital image, picture, or other matter that contains a depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct that is produced in whole or in part with materials that have been mailed or shipped in interstate or foreign commerce, or is shipped or transported or is intended for shipment or transportation in interstate or foreign commerce and that contains one or more visual depictions of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct made after July 3, 1995 shall, for each performer portrayed in such visual depiction, create and maintain records containing the following:

                                                          (1) The legal name and date of birth of each performer, obtained by the producer's examination of a picture identification card. For any performer portrayed in such a depiction made after July 3, 1995, the records shall also include a legible copy of the identification document examined and, if that document does not contain a recent and recognizable picture of the performer, a legible copy of a picture identification card
                                                          ....
                                                          ++++

                                                          This information is "current"..... but the regulations are due for a change, following the passage of the Adam Walsh Act last July.

                                                          Actually, they literally are overdue for a change - the Attorney General was supposed to have issued new regulations for review/public comment in January.

                                                          The AG is also supposed to issue regulations regarding the new section 2257A this month... I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen in the next 10 days, either.

                                                                  2257 has not been litigated, so no judge has interpreted the law, leaving lawyers and pseudo-lawyers to guess how the law may or may not be interpreted!

                                                                  Here is one section that pertains to this topic:

                                                                  § 75.2 Maintenance of records.

                                                                  (a) Any producer of any book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, digitally- or computer-manipulated image, digital image, picture, or other matter ....that contains one or more visual depictions of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct made after July 3, 1995 shall, for each performer portrayed in such visual depiction, create and maintain records containing the following:

                                                                  (1) The legal name and date of birth of each performer, obtained by the producer's examination of a picture identification card. For any performer portrayed in such a depiction made after July 3, 1995, the records shall also include a legible copy of the identification document examined and, if that document does not contain a recent and recognizable picture of the performer, a legible copy of a picture identification card.





                                                                  What hangs people up, lawyers and well-intentioned GFY'ers, are the words "A" and "THE" when referring to a photo ID. Some want to interpret this SO LITERALLY that they believe it means there must be ONE, and ONLY ONE, picture identification card.

                                                                  Believing that one and only one ID may be kept in 2257 records is nonsense. The regulation section I included above even refers to a second form of ID if the first does not have a recent picture.

                                                                  One government issued ID is required. Getting 2 is just covering your ass and there is nothing wrong with keeping copies of 2 ID's in your records. I am so 150% certain that I am right on this that I make this guarantee--

                                                                  I will provide full legal defense, or pay the attorney of your choice, for anyone who is indicted solely for having 2 model ID's in their records instead of 1.
                                                                  I am that sure it will never happen.



                                                                  The easiest way to get a fake ID to drink in a bar is to get an older brother or sister's ID. Bouncers know this, so when they have someone that looks young a good bouncer will ask for another form of ID--like a credit card. The older sibling might give up the driver's license for a night but rarely would give Junior a second ID or credit card to boot. The easiest way to get a fake ID to make some money getting naked is to get an older sibling's ID. If you deal with young models, demand to see at least 2 forms of ID. You will not get in trouble for asking for 2 forms of ID. You will get in trouble for shooting an underage model. I would think producers are at least as smart as the guys holding the door at nightclubs.

                                                                      I was told the industry has been asking for a second form of ID (Social Security card, etc), in order to double check the name on the ID.

                                                                      A good practice is to have the first photo and the first frame of video be of the model/performer holding the ID next to their face (with video, zoom in on the ID so that you can see the ID number and face clearly - I usually ask the performer if that is really them in the photo, and if they are over 18 as well).

                                                                      An equally important issue, perhaps more important (since its hard to imagine the government getting too upset about an extra ID), is that I have seen many photographers include the 2257 info on their model release.

                                                                      As I understand it, these should be two seperate documents. The 2257 should have only the info required by 2257, and should be stored away from any other documents (model releases, AIM test results, etc).

Bouncers know this, so when they have someone that looks young a good bouncer will ask for another form of ID--like a credit card. The older sibling might give up the driver's license for a night but rarely would give Junior a second ID or credit card to boot. The easiest way to get a fake ID to make some money getting naked is to get an older sibling's ID. If you deal with young models, demand to see at least 2 forms of ID. You will not get in trouble for asking for 2 forms of ID. You will get in trouble for shooting an underage model. I would think producers are at least as smart as the guys holding the door at nightclubs.

                                                                                2257 has not been litigated, so no judge has interpreted the law, leaving lawyers and pseudo-lawyers to guess how the law may or may not be interpreted!
                                                                                This is a very good point - although I should hope lawyers are making an argument as to what the interpretation should be, as opposed to guessing what it might be.... right?

                                                                                Otherwise, what do we pay you guys for?

                                                                                I'm kidding, of course - but I do hope that it's not the case that 'my guess is as good as yours' with regards to existing statutory definitions, and how such might be applied to the same terms within the context of 2257 and the related CFRs.

                                                                                  Anyone that tries to push forward the notion that a producer with 2 forms of ID in his 2257 records will be arrested, charged, and imprisoned should be writing scary stories for movies, because that will not happen in real life. Someone can scream at me all day long that "A" means "one" but I guaran-damn-tee that not even the most vile, spiteful, god-fearing, porn-hating, right-wing nut job prosecutor will indict a porn producer and then try convince a jury that there was some sort of a crime committed because the producer had 2 forms of ID in his records.

                                                                                  I just cannot imagine a prosecutor, in front of a jury of people that really do not to be on jury duty, telling them that they need to spend the next 4 days of their lives doing civic duty to determine if 2 forms of ID in records is a federal crime when the law says "A" and "the" ID, which must mean only 1. Juries are usually intelligent creatures, and if they catch a hint that the charges are bogus, they will acquit. Federal prosecutors know this, and they also know that federal judges do not like courtroom time wasted on frivolous crap.

                                                                                  But then some people really need an active fantasy life to make theirs more interesting, and some lawyers want to scare you so badly that you retain them 24 hours a day just to make sure you aren't arrested and thrown into jail for jaywalking across the street at IHOP.

                                                                                                    BTW, forgive me if we've already met and I'm just spacing it out; experience suggests that memory for names/faces is not my strong suit.

                                                                                                    - Q.
                                                                                                    I will be there; grab me in the courtyard and I would be glad to chat. For some reason I was passed over for the legal panel this year--for the first time in years. Could be that I am too outspoken and actually willing to give real advice when I am on a panel. Panelists are probably not allowed to give advice or speak contrary to pre-conceived policies, they are only supposed to promote their own programs.
