When acting on behalf of another person, business, or organization, the personal ID you present must indicate the same address as that person or organization. If it doesn’t, we need additional proof of such authority and we’ll record the complete third-party information.
Besides showing acceptable personal identification, you must also have either a:

or
Letter of Authorization
A Letter of Authorization is available at the post office, which clearly gives you specific authority to pick up mail or apply for services on behalf of the addressee.
