Set up your photo & video release waiver
Collect a person's permission for specified photographs or video recordings and their intended use.
The included questions capture shoot or event reference and approved uses and channels, alongside the signer’s contact details. An acknowledgment, signature, and signing date keep the participation or permission record together.
Name the actual uses, audience, and duration in the reviewed terms. Keep permission separate from participation so the scope is clear.
Before publishing, replace the draft instructions in the Terms acknowledgment field description with wording reviewed for your organization, activity, and jurisdiction. FormBuilder collects responses; it does not determine whether a waiver is enforceable or certify the identity of a signer.
Best practices
Name the actual uses, audience, and duration in the reviewed terms. Keep permission separate from participation so the scope is clear.
Record a terms version in your reviewed wording and preserve a copy of the form used for each activity or session.
Ask only for information your team needs. Arrange any sensitive supporting documents through an appropriate private process.
Test the published form on a phone, check the signature field, and confirm that your team can find the response before sharing the link widely.

Approved uses and channels (Short text, required) — Records approved uses and channels for this specific use case.
Terms acknowledgment (Multiple choice, required) — Replace the organizer-facing draft instructions with your reviewed terms. Respondents acknowledge the displayed text; they should not write the terms themselves.

Frequently asked questions
What does the photo & video release waiver template include?
It includes contact details, shoot or event reference, approved uses and channels, an acknowledgment, signature, and signing date. You can edit the fields and instructions before publishing.
Is this a ready-to-use legal waiver?
No. It is a form-building starting point with draft setup instructions. Replace those instructions with reviewed terms for your activity and jurisdiction before collecting responses. A signature alone does not establish enforceability.
Can I use this form online or print it?
Yes. Customize the draft, publish it to share a link or embed it, or use the template page’s print option. Review the final wording and layout before distributing either version.
