When you need one > A release form is the written consent of an adult who appears in a creator's content without being a verified, tagged creator themselves. OnlyFans requires that person to be at least 18, to have their identity verified and to give written consent, which they can later withdraw. ## What a release form is for A release form proves that everyone appearing in a post is an adult, has been identified and has agreed to appear. OnlyFans' terms are clear: anyone else in the content must be a tagged creator or a person 18 or older with verified identity and written consent, and they can withdraw that consent. The Acceptable Use Policy also bans explicit content featuring an adult who has not completed creator onboarding or signed the release form. You need one in situations like these: - Couples content, when your partner does not have their own creator account. - Collabs with someone who is not an OnlyFans creator, the "release form for non creator" case people search for. - Anyone else who appears in the content you sell, even if their face is not shown. ## A practical example A couple wants to post content together from one partner's account. The other partner does not want to open a creator account of their own. Before anything featuring them goes live, they have to verify their identity and give written consent through the process OnlyFans sets out. If they later open their own account, they can appear as a tagged creator instead. And if one day they withdraw their consent, the couple will be glad they agreed in writing what happens to the posts already published. ## Common mistakes - **Assuming an internet template is enough.** A PDF can work as a private agreement between you, but what counts for OnlyFans is meeting its requirements: verified identity and written consent. - **Asking for it after posting.** Consent has to be in place before the content goes live. - **Thinking a hidden face makes it unnecessary.** The rule covers anyone who appears. - **Not agreeing what happens if the relationship ends.** Consent can be withdrawn, so decide in advance what happens to the posts and the earnings. ## How an agency handles it A serious agency does not publish content featuring another person until it has confirmed that the person is a tagged creator or has completed their consent. It records this next to the post so anyone on the team knows which content features whom and on what terms, and it reviews the record if the relationship changes. For couples, it also helps to agree from day one how earnings are split and who controls the account. We cover this in [how to make money on OnlyFans as a couple](/en/guides/how-to-make-money-on-onlyfans/couples/) and on our [OnlyFans agency for couples](/en/onlyfans-agency-for-couples/) page. Each person's verification works like any creator's, as explained in [identity verification](/en/glossary/verification/), and joint content between creators is covered in [collab](/en/glossary/collab/). ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need a release form for my partner on OnlyFans? Yes, if your partner appears in your content and is not a verified creator tagged in the post. They must be at least 18, verify their identity and give written consent before anything featuring them is published. If they open their own creator account and you tag them, the post is covered that way instead. ### Is there an OnlyFans release form PDF or template? Generic PDF templates circulate online and can help you write a private agreement between you, but what counts for OnlyFans is meeting its own requirements: the person must be an adult, have their identity verified and give written consent. Follow the process OnlyFans shows in your account and its help center rather than relying on a downloaded file. ### Can someone withdraw consent after content is posted? Yes. OnlyFans' terms say the person who appears in the content can withdraw their consent. That is why couples and collaborators should agree in writing from the start what happens to content already published, and to the money it earns, if the relationship ends. ## Sources - [OnlyFans Terms of Service](https://onlyfans.com/terms), OnlyFans (November 7, 2026) - [OnlyFans Acceptable Use Policy](https://onlyfans.com/acceptable-use-policy), OnlyFans (November 7, 2026) - [OnlyFans Help Center](https://onlyfans.com/help), OnlyFans (November 7, 2026) Updated on November 8, 2026. ## Keep reading - [How to make money on OnlyFans as a couple: verification, consent and splitting the money](https://ofagen.com/en/guides/how-to-make-money-on-onlyfans/couples/index.html.md) (HTML: https://ofagen.com/en/guides/how-to-make-money-on-onlyfans/couples/) - [OnlyFans agency for couples: consent, account ownership, money and the contract](https://ofagen.com/en/onlyfans-agency-for-couples/index.html.md) (HTML: https://ofagen.com/en/onlyfans-agency-for-couples/) - [What is OnlyFans verification?
