NIV. Permission Guidelines
Please note these guidelines apply to both commercial and non-commercial use of the NIV. 

The NIV  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 NIV quotations must be completely accurate to the NIV text, including all appropriate 
punctuation, capitalization, etc. unless specifically approved to the contrary prior to publication.

Anyone wishing to use the NIV translation in its entirety should read the translation request 
section below.

1. Commercial use

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 NIV 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, Zondervan, 5300 Patterson Avenue S.E., Grand Rapids, MI 49530.

Rights and permission to quote from the NIV text in printed or electronic media intended for commercial use 
within the U.K., EEC, and EFTA countries that exceed the above guidelines must be directed to, and 
approved in writing by, Hodder & Stoughton, Ltd., 338 Euston Road, London, NW1 3BH, England.

2. Non-Commercial use

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 NIV text is used. Most usage by local churches would fall 
into this category.

Rights and permissions to quote from the NIV text in media intended for non-commercial use which exceed 
the above guidelines must be directed to, and approved in writing by, 
International Bible Society, 1820 Jet Stream Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80921-3969.
