It does not matter where they are, it matters how professional and careful they are. There is one content provider who is very reluctant to provide documentation. He will only do so if he feels like it and claims that he is best to check and hold the documents for you.

However he does not know a forged passport from a real one.

My advice is you need the documentation for a lot more reasons than 2257, but a lot of people insist on dragging it back to that subject. Maybe because that is the one area they can win on.

Forget 2257 here is why everyone needs to have the documents.

To see they exist and are acceptable.
To see the model was old enough.
To see exactly what rights she signed away.
To see that she did actually sign them away.
To see who shot it and if the seller have the rights to resell.

Of course everyone makes their own decision. I just give my opinions.
