1.2. What is an Authorized Representative?

Your Authorized Representative can be anyone 18 years of age or older. They may be a friend, colleague, member of your church, neighbor, or any other adult known to you who can verify your identifying documents are not expired and correspond to your identity.

There is NO legal liability for the person who acts as your Authorized Representative. Such a person simply witnesses that your documents are authentic (as far as they can tell) and belong to you. Only Measurement Incorporated will be held liable for any mistakes or fraud.
