/foɾmulaɾjo de autoɾiθaθjon de uso de imaxen/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'photo release form' is translated into Spanish as formulario de autorización de uso de imagen.
This phrase refers to a legal document that provides a person or a company with permission to use a photograph of an individual. In casual professional settings, you may often see this long phrase shortened to autorización de imagen. Another common alternative, particularly in legal and medical contexts, is consentimiento de uso de imagen.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of formulario (form), autorización (authorization), uso (use) and imagen (image).

Which one should you use?

Formulario de autorización de uso de imagen is the standard descriptive term, while consentimiento de uso de imagen is a common alternative used specifically in legal and medical environments. For a much more casual way to describe the document, you can use Papel de Permiso para Publicar Fotos.

Did you know?

  • While English uses the word 'release' to imply a waiver of liability, the Spanish term autorización focuses on the active granting of permission to use the likeness.
  • Spanish law distinguishes between autorización and consentimiento, as the latter is often required for a higher level of legal validity in sensitive medical or private settings.
  • In many Spanish-speaking legal systems, if you are signing a document for a minor, you must use the term representación legal alongside the autorización to indicate a parent is signing.
