Updating Your Own Credits

If you're an actor, director or other industry professional you may need to correct your listing. This page provides all the information to enable you to submit additions/corrections to your own credits.

Please note that these instructions are aimed to industry professionals only and to their authorized representatives (i.e. their agents, managers). Help for all other kinds of data submissions can be found in our regular Adding and Correcting Data help section.

To avoid any misunderstandings, please keep in mind the following before you attempt to add or change your listing:

• We collect and list most types of film-related information but there are some kind of credits that we don't list. For example we don't list appearances/work in music video clips or commercials or stage plays. This type of information may be listed in the "Other Works" section of a person's biographical information (click here for an example) but will not appear directly under his/her filmography.

• The IMDb is a title-based database. What this means is that data collected in the IMDb is centered around film titles, not individual people's credits: we can only add credits to existing titles. If you have worked on a film or TV movie that we don't list yet and want your filmography to reflect that, you need to add the new title before your credit can be added to it.

• The IMDb is not updated in real time. Any information submitted to the IMDb won't appear immediately: it has to be checked and processed by our staff first. This means that any new info submitted through our automated web-based forms may take 7 to 10 days before it appears online (though it may take longer in some cases).

You need to be a registered user of the IMDb to submit data through our forms. Registration is quick, free of charge and provides access to many other features on the site (including the ability to vote in our movie poll and post your own reviews). To register, please complete the online registration form.
