Something to hand the adult merchants
you are already chasing.

You carry the registration, the reviews and the fine when an adult merchant cannot show its paperwork. Easy2257 keeps that record set for them: examined identities, a content log, the cross-reference index the regulations ask for, and a published 2257 statement carrying our address as Custodian of Records instead of theirs.

On Producer, Studio and Enterprise plans it also generates the monthly acquirer report that Visa VIRP 3.1 and Mastercard SPME 9.4.1 ask for, on the 2nd of every month, including the quiet ones.

The set of 2257 documents Easy2257 produces for a merchant

What your adult merchants are on the hook for

None of this is our rule. It is the duty your merchants already carry, and the reason your compliance emails keep going out.

18 U.S.C. 2257 and 28 CFR Part 75

A producer of sexually explicit content keeps an examined identity record for every performer, a log of what was produced, and an index that finds a performer by every name they have used. The notice on the content has to name a custodian and a real street address.

Mastercard AN 5196

Adult content merchants collect written, performer-signed consent before publication and run a route for a depicted person to ask for removal.

Visa VIRP 3.1 and Mastercard SPME 9.4.1

A monthly compliance report to the acquirer, including a nil report for a month when nothing happened. This is the artifact you end up chasing, and the quiet months are the ones merchants forget.

TAKE IT DOWN Act (2025)

Forty-eight hours to remove reported non-consensual intimate imagery, counted from a valid request, with a published route for someone to send that request to.

Easy2257 keeps the records behind all four.

What a merchant gets

This is the full set, on a plan that has scenes on it. Which plan carries what is in the table further down.

An examined identity record for every performer, encrypted at rest and never shown again once it is on file.

A SHA-256 digest recorded for every depiction filed against a scene, which is what 28 CFR 75.2(f) asks a digital record to be able to prove.

A cross-reference index built automatically, alphabetical, covering every alias, as 28 CFR 75.2(a)(2) and (3) require.

A performer-signed model release and consent on every scene, which is the Mastercard AN 5196 obligation; a scene cannot close until all of them are signed.

A published 2257 statement naming Easy2257 as Custodian of Records, so the merchant home address never lands on a public page.

A public removal portal with the clocks already running: 48 hours for a valid NCII request, 7 business days for a card-network appeal.

Seven-year retention enforced in the database, so a record cannot be deleted inside the window it has to survive.

A sealed archive for every closed production, with a manifest and a signed certificate an auditor can verify offline.

Which plans produce the monthly report

This is the line a processor checks first, so here it is plainly.

The monthly acquirer report generates on the 2nd of each month for active Producer, Studio and Enterprise subscriptions. It arrives as a PDF and as a machine-readable JSON file, stored in the merchant account and emailed out, so a portfolio tool can read it as easily as a person can. A month with nothing to report still produces one, marked as a nil report, which is the behavior the programs actually care about.

Solo and Per Scene do not produce it, and we will not pretend otherwise. Six of the seven counters on that document reach through a production or a scene that a one-person plan does not have, so the page would print zeros about an account where they could never read anything else. Sending that to an acquiring bank is worse than sending nothing.

For a small merchant the answer is Solo Creator at $120 a year. It is a smaller plan, not the same plan: one person, verifying their own identity, with no scenes on it and no monthly acquirer report. What carries over unchanged is the Custodian of Records service, the published 2257 statement, the content log and the seven-year retention behind it, and the removal portal. The pricing page compares the tiers line by line.

Plan	Price	Who it fits	Monthly acquirer report
Solo Creator	$120per year	One person filming themselves	Not on this plan
Per Scene	$39.95per scene	An occasional collaboration, no subscription	Not on this plan
Producer	$143.95per month	An active producer	Generated monthly
Studio	$299per month	A studio or a team	Generated monthly
Enterprise	$599per month	A large operation	Generated monthly

Custodian of Records service, the published statement, the removal portal and the retention guard are on every tier. The monthly acquirer report is the one thing that starts at Producer. Full comparison

Where the records live

Easy2257 is named Custodian of Records on the merchant statement, at our business address in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Reception is staffed during normal business hours, and records are produced from our systems on request.
The duty to examine identification stays with the producer, which is where the statute puts it. We keep the record and warrant that it exists as stated. We never warrant what a producer told us.
