Common questions

Does DOCUMENTED mean I can release the film?

It means the requested information and document references were recorded. The tool has not verified them or determined ownership or permission.

Do I need to upload contracts?

No. Record document names and references. Contract uploads are not part of this tool.

What happens if a registration deadline has passed?

Seek legal review. Failure to register within the statutory period may have legal consequences under the Act. This tool does not determine contract validity.
