If I shoot a single photo to a model, what does the relative MR imply? It’s related only to that photo of that day, or it’s related to all photo’s that I should (or even not) shoot to that model? that is, if I ask a person to sign my MR, which are his/her risks ?

Currently, and this has changed, a MR is used for that shoot of that model for that day only. Although I have used releases dated over as long as a whole year, most agencies won't accept those anymore.

what zeus said. You used to be able to upload one release per model and apply it to any photo of that model, but not anymore.

It doesn't imply anything. It states what states for the dates and shoots listed. Whether any specific agency has more requirements is up to them. The risk is that you use their likeness in a way they don't like or weren't expecting.

Point being, you might as well get the thing properly detailed for the most rigorous agency you might try and work with. Why do anything less and find your self with a batch of images you can't submit? You don't need to use the standard Getty release, you could work with a 70's edition release that would stand up in a court of law but...
