How Easy2257 Works
18 U.S.C. § 2257 requires every adult content producer to verify performer ages, maintain government ID copies, and keep those records accessible for unannounced federal inspection for a minimum of seven years. Easy2257 handles every one of those obligations digitally — from performer onboarding to long-term archival — so you stay fully compliant without paper files, rented office space, or your home address on your content. It also covers the card-network layer: Mastercard AN 5196 performer consent, Visa VIRP monthly reporting, and TAKE IT DOWN Act removal deadlines.
Sign Up & Choose a Plan
Create your account and select the plan that matches your production volume. Solo creators producing content alone start at $9.95/month. Producers working with talent can pay per scene at $39.95 or subscribe monthly starting at $143.95/month for four scenes. Every plan includes full Custodian of Records service, bank-grade ID verification, encrypted storage, cross-reference indexing, and downloadable compliance reports. Setup takes under two minutes.
- Pay-per-scene or monthly subscription
- COR service included with every plan — your address stays private
- No long-term contract required
Create a Production
Name your production, set your shoot dates and locations, and add individual scenes. Every detail is tracked from creation and organized in your compliance dashboard. You can manage multiple productions simultaneously, add notes per scene, and monitor the real-time status of every performer invitation. Easy2257 captures the date of original production for each scene as required by 28 CFR 75.2(a)(4), so your records are accurate from day one.
- Unlimited productions and scenes
- Track dates, locations, and scene metadata
- Real-time compliance status dashboard
Invite Talent
Generate a unique encrypted invite link for each performer and share it via text, email, or QR code. Talent doesn't need to download an app or create an account — they complete everything directly from their phone or computer. You can track who received their invitation, who started, and who completed their verification in real time. Automated reminders follow up on incomplete steps so you don't have to chase anyone down.
- One-click invite via link, email, or QR code
- No app or account required for talent
- Automated reminders for incomplete verifications
Talent Verifies ID & Signs Documents
Each performer follows their invite link through a guided onboarding flow:
Government ID Verification
Talent scans the front and back of their government-issued photo ID. Our Veriff integration performs automated document verification and captures legible copies of the ID — meeting the 28 CFR 75.2(a)(1) requirement for "a legible digitally scanned or other electronic copy" of the identification document. For solo creators, a dedicated upload flow captures front and back ID images directly.
Facial Recognition Matching
Talent takes a live selfie that is compared against their ID photo using AWS Rekognition. This confirms the person holding the ID is the person on the ID — catching fraudulent or borrowed documents that a manual check might miss.
Document Signing
Talent reviews and digitally signs all required 2257 compliance documents — model releases, performer information worksheets, and consent agreements — directly from their device. Every signature is SHA-256 hashed and timestamped with a complete audit trail, including scroll percentage, time on page, and initials placement. Signatures are legally valid and meet the digital record authentication requirement under 28 CFR 75.2(f).
- Bank-grade ID authentication with legible copies stored
- Live selfie face matching for fraud prevention
- Legally binding digital signatures with SHA-256 integrity hashing
Producer Attestation & Content Upload
Federal law under 18 U.S.C. § 2257(b)(1) places the examination obligation on the producer personally — before filming, you must examine each performer's government-issued photo ID yourself. Easy2257 requires a timestamped, IP-logged attestation confirming you fulfilled this obligation for every performer on every scene. The automated Veriff verification is an additional layer of protection, not a replacement for your personal examination. Both are documented in your compliance records.
Once attestation is complete, upload your content depictions — videos, photos, or scene files up to 2GB each — directly into your compliance records. Add published URLs for every platform where the content appears (OnlyFans, Fansly, personal sites). Easy2257 stores your production media in encrypted AWS S3 alongside your performer documentation, meeting the 28 CFR 75.2(a)(1) requirement that records include a copy of every depiction and associated URL. Mark the production complete, and your records are finalized.
- Timestamped producer attestation required per performer per scene
- Depiction storage up to 2GB per file, encrypted in AWS S3
- Published URL tracking per scene for every platform
Records Archived & Inspection-Ready
Once a production is finalized, all records are locked and stored with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Easy2257 automatically generates a complete cross-reference index — every performer sorted alphabetically by legal name, with every alias, every scene, every published URL, and every depiction filename linked — meeting the 28 CFR 75.2(a)(2)-(3) requirement for alphabetical organization and cross-referencing.
As your designated Custodian of Records under 28 CFR 75.2(h), we maintain 24/7 digital access to your compliance files, exceeding the 20-hour weekly inspection availability required by federal regulation. Your compliance statement is generated with our physical street address, so your personal address never appears on your content.
Download complete audit-ready compliance reports as PDFs at any time. Your records are retained for the full seven-year federal minimum plus five years after business dissolution per 28 CFR 75.4, with retention guards that prevent deletion within the compliance window. Redundant backups ensure nothing is ever lost.
- Auto-generated alphabetical cross-reference index
- 24/7 inspection access — exceeds 20-hour weekly requirement
- 7-year retention enforced at the API level, deletion blocked within compliance window
- Downloadable PDF compliance reports anytime
Built-In Compliance Features
Every feature the statute requires, included with every plan.
Digital Signatures & Document Templates
Pre-built templates for model releases, performer information worksheets, content agreements, and consent forms. All rendered with performer data and signed electronically with SHA-256 integrity hashing. Every signature includes a full audit trail — timestamp, IP address, scroll engagement, initials placement, and time on page. Documents are archived with cryptographic proof of integrity that can be verified at any time.
- SHA-256 integrity hashing on every signature
- Full audit trail: IP, timestamp, scroll, time on page
- Cryptographically verifiable document integrity
Video Consent Recording
Capture pre-shoot and post-shoot video consent recordings directly through the talent portal. Talent records from their own device — no special equipment needed. Videos are timestamped and stored encrypted alongside the rest of the scene's compliance records.
- Pre-shoot and post-shoot video capture
- Direct recording from talent's device
- Timestamped and encrypted storage
Record Segregation
28 CFR 75.2(e) requires that 2257 records be segregated from all other records. Easy2257 maintains compliance data in dedicated database tables, stored in dedicated S3 paths, encrypted independently, and exported as standalone compliance archives containing only 2257-required records. The segregation architecture is documented in every archive manifest.
- Dedicated database tables and S3 paths
- Independent encryption and storage
- Segregation documented in archive manifest
Record Authentication
28 CFR 75.2(f) requires that the custodian be able to authenticate each digital record. Every file uploaded to Easy2257 — every ID image, every depiction, every signed document — receives a SHA-256 integrity hash computed at the moment of upload. At any point, the hash can be recomputed and compared to confirm the record has not been altered. These hashes are included in your compliance archive manifest, making the entire package cryptographically self-verifying.
- SHA-256 hashes computed at upload
- Cryptographic proof of record integrity
- Self-verifying compliance archives
Performer-Signed Model Release
Mastercard AN 5196 and Visa VIRP require written, documented performer consent — producer attestation alone is not enough. Easy2257 generates a Standard Model Release & Consent document for each performer, delivered through the same signing flow talent already uses. The signed PDF is SHA-256 hashed, stored in S3, and linked to the performer's scene record. Scenes cannot be closed until every performer has a valid, non-revoked model release on file.
- Satisfies Mastercard AN 5196 operative text on written consent
- Scene close blocked until all talent have signed releases
- Signed PDFs included in compliance archive
Depicted-Person Removal Portal
AN 5196, VIRP, and the TAKE IT DOWN Act (2025) all require a working appeals process for anyone depicted in your content. Easy2257 provides a public, unauthenticated intake form — no login required — where a depicted person can submit a removal request with the relevant legal basis. SLA deadlines are computed automatically: 48 hours for NCII / TAKE IT DOWN Act claims, 72 hours for state NCII laws, 7 business days for card-network appeals. Producers receive automated warnings at the 6-hour mark and admin escalation on breach.
- TAKE IT DOWN Act (48h) and Mastercard AN 5196 (7bd) SLAs enforced automatically
- Public intake — no login barrier for claimants
- CSAM reports redirected immediately to NCMEC CyberTipline
Monthly Acquirer Compliance Reports
Mastercard SPME §9.4.1 and Visa VIRP Tier 1 §3.1 require producers to submit a monthly compliance report to their payment acquirer — and a nil report is required even when nothing happened. Easy2257 generates this automatically on the 2nd of every month for the previous calendar month: a PDF and a machine-readable JSON covering removal requests, SLA performance, model releases signed, scenes finalized, and ID verifications. Both formats are SHA-256 hashed and downloadable from your dashboard at any time.
- Generated automatically — no manual work required
- Nil report generated with watermark when no incidents occurred
- PDF + JSON, both SHA-256 hashed and archived
