Why you need permission to use Tyndale materials:
Written permission is required to reproduce selections or excerpts of copyrighted material published by Tyndale. Once an idea has been produced in tangible form, the owner of the work has the sole right to copy the work, or to allow others to copy it. The term 'copyright' is the protection given to the person who has created such a work. The main goal of copyright registration is to encourage the creation of new intellectual and artistic works, and therefore it is important that the copyright laws be respected. The information and forms you will find on this site are designed for individuals seeking permission to reproduce selections or excerpts from any Tyndale publication. Please note the information and forms do not apply to reprinting or translating an entire Tyndale publication.
Book Permission Guidelines
Please read the following information to determine if you need to submit a request for permission. Please note that these guidelines only apply to reproduce excerpts or selections from a Tyndale book. They do NOT apply to reprinting or translating an entire Tyndale book.
Non-Commercial Use Exceptions (Print Rights Only):
Permission is not required if you are quoting or reproducing less than 500 words from any Tyndale publication for a one-time non-commercial use. (Such as use within your church, personal or individual use)
If you fall within these guidelines, the following copyright notice must accompany all reprints:
Taken from (Title) by (Author). Copyright © (Date) by (Copyright Holder).
Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
All rights reserved.
All other inquiries require an electronically-submitted request.
All requests will be handled in the order received. Every effort will be made to respond as soon as possible, or to accommodate specific due dates. Before submitting your request, please pay special attention to the material you are requesting permission to use. Please note that Tyndale cannot grant permission for any third party material (which is material used by permission of another source). You will need to contact the original publisher or author of the material to receive permission to quote any third-party or quoted material that appears in any of our publications.
Bible Permission Guidelines
Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Please note these guidelines apply to both commercial and non-commercial use of the NLT. The NLT text may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic, or audio), up to and inclusive of five hundred (500) verses or less without written permission, providing the verses quoted do not amount to a complete book of the Bible, do not comprise 25% or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted, and the verses are not being quoted in a commentary or other Biblical reference work. This permission is contingent upon an appropriate copyright acknowledgment.
All NLT quotations must be completely accurate to the NLT text, including all appropriate punctuation, capitalization, etc. unless specifically approved to the contrary prior to publication. Anyone wishing to use the NLT translation in its entirety should read the translation request section below. Commercial use is defined as the use of any product offered for sale, lease, rental or barter on any level, or use in advertising.
Rights and permission to quote from the NLT text in printed or electronic media intended for commercial use within the U.S. and Canada that exceed the above guidelines must be directed to, and approved in writing by:
Tyndale House Publisher, Inc.
351 Executive Drive
Carol Stream, IL 60188
Non-Commercial use is defined as the opposite of the definition of commercial use given above and generally means free provision of the medium in which the NLT text is used. Most usage by local churches would fall into this category. Rights and permissions to quote from the NLT text in media intended for non-commercial use that exceed the above guidelines must be directed to, and approved in writing by:
Tyndale House Publisher, Inc.
351 Executive Drive
Carol Stream, IL 60188
Any quotation from the NLT text must include the following copyright notice: Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2007 by Tyndale House Foundation. And must include one of the following acknowledgements on the copyright page or title page of the work: Scripture quotations marked (NLT) are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2007.
