Getting Cleared (verification)
How Crew Card verification works — from In the Gate to Cleared.
Cleared is ScenePaper's verified badge. It tells productions your identity and credits are real — which makes them far more likely to book you.
The clearance lifecycle
Your Crew Card moves through these stages:
- Draft — you're still building it.
- In the Gate — you've submitted it for review.
- Cleared — verified. You now carry the trusted badge. ✅
- Pick Up — the reviewers need another take: something needs fixing or clarifying. Update your card and resubmit.
- Struck — removed (rare — reserved for policy violations).
How to get Cleared
- Complete your Crew Card — headshot, roles, location, bio, and at least some filmography.
- Submit it for review (this puts you In the Gate).
- Wait for the review. If anything needs changing you'll be moved to Pick Up with a note; fix it and resubmit.
What helps you clear faster
- A real, recognizable headshot.
- Filmography entries that can be checked.
- Verified credits — productions you've worked with on ScenePaper can confirm your filmography, and peers can vouch for you. Both strengthen your card.
Being Cleared also unlocks full participation in the community — like posting in the Green Room.
