To complete your application we need: your Maltese ID or Tax registration number, at least two photos of you and your measurements.

The RIGHT documentation:

In order to be able to work and get paid you must have a Maltese ID card or a Maltese tax registration number. You will also need to upload a copy of your ID card front and back in your application. This information is sent to the accounts department so that they can process your payment. If you can't provide one or the other we are afraid you can't complete the application at this time. 


The important things to know for all photos:

What should I wear?

  • It’s best to wear plain solid colours, avoid crazy patterns, large logos and trend clothing.

  • Make sure your outfit is not too baggy so we can clearly see your body shape and frame.

  • Don’t wear anything too formal or too revealing.

  • Don’t wear a hat, sunnies, fascinator in your hair, excess jewellery, no face paint or food on kids face or anything else that may impact the director’s ability to see what you look like.

How you should I do my hair and make-up?

• Please style your hair the way you would naturally wear it. For women and girl’s hair down and to the front of the shoulders is best, but feel free to send us additional photos with the hair up.

• Don’t over-style yourself, you want to look as similar as you can to yourself in person.

• Very natural makeup please, no bright lip colours heavy eye shadow etc.

• Guys please have your facial hair as you most often wear it.


The important things about your measurements:

  • Make sure you use a proper tape measure.

  • When taking your measurements remove any additional clothing, these add inches to your measurements which are not really yours!

  • Get someone to help you if you feel you can`t do it by yourself.

What information do I need to give?

When you fill out our talent application form, you will see that we require basic details such as your name, ID number and age, contact details such as your mobile/home number, email address and home address, physical stats such as measurements, details on your appearance and any skills you have, and finally your photos, in order to have them uploaded to your profile. The more information you can give us, the better, as some jobs will have specific requirements.

I am already registered with you, I would like to update my photos - how do I do that?

Updating your photos, periodically is a good idea. Recent photos give us a clearer picture of what you look like now.
