Title: Model release and witness
Post by: vonkara on September 11, 2008, 09:21

Does the witness of the MR is absolutely important or I can just make my cat sign it. I ask this because we are already 2 adults to sign the release. We are only me and the model at the location. Can I just leave this section empty?

Thanks for the feedback

If you're talking about iStock, no.  You need a separate witness.

All of the sites require a witness' signature.

However, if your cat is capable of holding a pen and writing a legible signature as well as testify in the event of any subsequent legal proceedings, I don't see why that would be a problem.  I haven't personally seen any verbage specifying the species of the witness.

The problem is that my cat name is toutankhamon. It's less believable :)
