Picking up badges for others

[rayhne]

Last year one person was able to pick up badges for all of us. Can we do that this year and if so how? What do we need?

Did this for the past two years. Just printed a permission letter and scanned my License and Post Card onto the letter and emailed to friend. Worked like a charm. :)

So a copy of their bar-code postcard will do? Or do you need the real thing?

From the reply above it looks like the actual card is needed, but I called the DC office to make sure.

They need the permission slip and copy of ID and either the actual postcard, a copy of the postcard, or a copy of your email registration confirmation.

They did say to be sure that the barcode copies well because they'll attempt to scan it. I'd say if you're not sure, send the post card as well.

Last year my husband went to Publix (and back!) while I waited in the registration line of DOOOOOOM and I thought we might do something similar this year. I was wondering the same thing, thanks!

Knock on wood, but the barcode on the postcard is supposed to cut down on the epic lines of doom this year.

Fingers crossed!!

John and Troy were on The Unique Geek podcast to talk about the new registration system. It's only 30 minutes and it has LOTS of info :D
