A parent/guardian-signed model release for minors under 18, granting photographers and proptech professionals limited, clearly defined usage rights with built-in expiration and content restrictions.
Last updated
The Minor Model Release Guardian Consent is a parent- or legal-guardian-signed release form granting photographers, 3D virtual tour creators, and reality-capture professionals limited, non-exclusive rights to use a minor's image and likeness in property-related media. It defines permitted and prohibited uses, establishes a guardian review-and-approval window before publication, and automatically expires on the minor's 18th birthday, at which point a new adult-signed release is required.
Use the Minor Model Release Guardian Consent whenever a person under 18 appears—or is likely to appear—in still photos, Matterport or iGUIDE 3D tours, drone footage, floor-plan visuals, or any promotional materials captured during a real estate or property shoot. It is especially relevant for occupied family homes, school or community facility shoots, and any session where a guardian is present on-site and able to sign before the session begins.

This agreement is executed by **[PHOTOGRAPHER LEGAL NAME]**, operating under **[PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS NAME]**, and **[GUARDIAN LEGAL NAME]**, acting as the lawful parent or legal guardian of **[MINOR FULL NAME]** (date of birth: **[MINOR DATE OF BIRTH]**). By signing, guardian confirms they hold full legal authority to grant image and likeness rights on the minor's behalf.
---
The license covers still photography, 3D virtual tours (Matterport, iGUIDE, etc.), drone and aerial footage, floor plans, interactive media, and promotional materials created for the property at **[PROPERTY ADDRESS]**. Rights are non-exclusive and royalty-free within the scope defined below.
---
This release contains **hard-coded prohibitions** — no legal drafting required:
Violations entitle the guardian to **immediate revocation** of all granted rights.
---
Before any public or commercial publication, photographer must share materials with guardian, who has **[REVIEW PERIOD DAYS]** calendar days to raise a written objection. Publication is blocked while any timely objection remains unresolved.
---
All rights granted automatically **expire on the minor's 18th birthday**. Continued use after that date requires a fresh, independently signed release from the subject as an adult — a key protection built directly into the template.

Guardian may withdraw consent at any time before the minor turns 18. Written notice is sent to **[PHOTOGRAPHER EMAIL]**, and photographer must cease all new uses within **[WITHDRAWAL COMPLIANCE DAYS]** days of receipt.
