18 U.S.C. § 2257

Notice regarding records required by U.S. federal law for certain depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct.

At a glance

FapSin takes age and recordkeeping compliance seriously. This notice is informational and does not replace legal advice or the requirements applicable to any individual producer.

01

Producer responsibility

Any person or entity that produces content subject to 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 or 2257A and related regulations is responsible for maintaining required records for every performer depicted, including records establishing identity and age, and for providing the required statement and custodian information.

02

Uploader obligations

Before submission, uploaders must ensure every depicted person is an adult, has consented, and that all applicable records, releases and disclosures are complete and accurate. Do not submit content if you cannot establish these facts.

03

Inspection and contact

Where a recordkeeping obligation applies, the responsible producer must maintain records and make them available for inspection as required by law. If you have a specific compliance concern about material hosted on FapSin, contact us through the Contact Us page and identify the relevant URL.

04

No legal conclusion

The applicability of federal recordkeeping rules depends on the facts and role of each party. Nothing on this page states that a particular person or item is exempt, compliant or legally classified in a specific way.
