Quick2257
“It’s a fantastic app. It’s brilliant. My only criticism of it is I didn’t think of it first,” Randazza joked. “It is an elegant solution to the problem. Not only does it log the records you need, it excludes the stuff you don’t. It’s keeping you from doing anything dumb too. Theoretically, it keeps you from going to jail.” Marc Randazza, XBIZ SUMMIT
“I gotta give Mr Walters credit this is a GREAT idea.” Mike South, GFY Discussion
Finally a mobile app is now available that simplifies the process of generating and transmitting performer records required by 18 USC 2257, using your iPad or iPhone.
Quick2257™ simplifies the process of creating Section 2257 records for performers, web cam models, escorts, dating site members, and anyone who produces depictions of actual or simulated sexually-explicit conduct. Recently, individuals with little legal training are required to create 2257 records in a specific format required by federal law. Quick2257™ now allows anyone with an iPhone or iPad to create the necessary performer records, and transmit them to the records custodian, in a matter of minutes!
“Awesome idea, and with Walters you won’t need to worry.” GFY Discussion
Application Description:
This productivity app is designed to allow producers of certain erotic-themed images or video to easily compile and transmit model age and information records required by U.S. law. Performers, photographers, website operators and others involved in the production of such material must generate legal records containing specific categories of information under Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 & 2257A (“Section 2257”). A copy of the performer’s picture ID card must also be included in the records.
“It was the first app I added to my shiny new iPhone 5S” Stephen (Xbiz), GFY Discussion
Quick2257™ allows you to:
- Create a form containing the performer’s legal name, stage name, and/or aliases;
- Record the date of original production of the depiction;
- Identify the title of the work associated with the depiction;
- Capture the front and back of the performer’s picture ID card using the device camera;
- Sign and verify the accuracy of the information using the touch screen;
- Compile all information into a convenient .pdf file; and,
- Send the 2257 records file to the records custodian using the mobile device’s email function.

From AVN NEWS: Quick2257 App Now Available for On-The-Go Recordkeeping
“As everyone knows, the federal record keeping and labeling law, 18 U.S.C. §2257, is still in effect, even as it continues to be challenged in the courts, with an appeal about to be filed of Judge Michael Baylson’s ruling following the trial of the case. So it probably behooves adult producers to continue keeping 2257 records—and First Amendment attorney Lawrence G. Walters has come up with an application for iPhones and iPads—arguably the most common forms of computer in the industry—that will make that job a whole lot easier—and with an introductory price of 99 cents, the app itself couldn’t be cheaper….”

“Industry attorney Lawrence Walters has released Quick2257™ , a new iOS app that simplifies the process of generating and transmitting performer records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 using an iPad or iPhone.
[…]
“The Florida attorney, who also has invented and patented other technology designed for the adult entertainment industry, got the idea from new mobile options banking consumers are now using.
‘While depositing a check using my mobile phone banking app one day this summer, it occurred to me that the process of compiling and sending 2257 records could be greatly simplified for the average erotic performer, webcam model, or escort advertiser,’ Walters said. ‘All that would be required was an app that included all the relevant fields, the ability to capture a legible image of the front and back of the picture ID card, a verification of the accuracy of the information, and a way to conveniently send the information to the 2257 records custodian’ …”
