Who is your Custodian of Records?

Fill in the custodian name and full street address above to generate your statement.

Before you publish it

  • Display the statement wherever the content appears. For a website, that means the homepage, major entry points, or principal URL, or a clearly labeled link that opens the statement.
  • The address must be a street address where your records are actually available for inspection during normal business hours. A P.O. box does not qualify.
  • Keep the custodian name and address current. If either changes, update the statement everywhere it appears.

2257 statement questions, answered

What must a 2257 compliance statement contain?

A 2257 statement identifies the content as subject to 18 U.S.C. § 2257, states that all persons depicted were at least eighteen years old when the content was created, and names the Custodian of Records along with the street address where the required records are kept and available for inspection.

Where must the 2257 statement be displayed?

The statement must accompany the covered content. For a website, 28 C.F.R. Part 75 requires it on the homepage, any known major entry points, or the principal URL, or accessible through a clearly labeled hyperlink that opens the statement.

Can someone else be the Custodian of Records for my content?

Yes. A producer can designate another person or a third-party service to maintain the required records. The statement must then name that custodian and the address where the records are available for inspection. Easy2257 provides this custodian of records service and hosts a current statement page for its customers.

What address can I use in a 2257 statement?

The statement must list a street address where the records are actually kept and available for inspection during normal business hours. A P.O. box, or an address where no records are held, does not satisfy the requirement. If you do not want to publish your home or office address, a third-party custodian can hold the records and its address is used instead.
