You need to have at least one pre-existing credited entry in the database. We will not display filmographies consisting exclusively of uncredited work. We may make an exception in very rare/specific circumstances (e.g. on movies released before 1990, episodes released before 2000 and/or for high-profile credits, such as an uncredited cameo appearance by a celebrity), but in most cases we will not list an uncredited credit unless you have a pre-existing credited filmography.
If you have, or later get, a proper on-screen credit, you can then go back and submit your uncredited work. But without at least one credit where your name was actually shown on screen, it will be difficult at best to get your uncredited work listed on IMDb.
Also be aware that "extra" isn't considered a valid part per IMDB.
For acting/on-screen appearances you must provide a character name (e.g.
"John") or role (e.g. "Jury Member"). Submissions with an empty
character field or with descriptions like "lead", "supporting",
"featured", "background", "extra" or "bit-part" will automatically be discarded.
Also:
We will accept "background" or "extra" if
that's how the credit appears on screen, but "background", "extra" or
"bit-part" will not be accepted as a character name on the title if the
role does not receive an on-screen credit. If that is the case the
character name should include a description of the part - Woman with Dog, for instance - and (uncredited) in the 'attribute' box. But see below - they must be recognizable.
It is not enough to have just worked on a production: Their scenes must be included in the final cut and it must be possible to easily identify their appearance.
Background/extra work as a crowd member (or a similar role where it's impossible to recognize the subject)
