I am enrolling in Saint John Ambulance, as an Emergency Responder. They require references. APC-Sp-ParlDiscl-Triage-Mailbox@MOD.gov.UK have stated that:

 
The Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation require us to obtain consent and verify the identity of an individual before releasing any information.
 
To allow us to proceed with your request, please forward a copy of your client's physically signed Form of Authority / Consent form authorising the release of their information to you, accompanied by either:
 
A) Roke Beedell's signed photographic Driving Licence showing their current address (this must be in date).
 
Or
 
B) Roke Beedell's current signed passport AND a utility bill or official correspondence which shows their current address and is dated within the last three months.
 
Please note, the signature must be either a wet signature or an electronic signature submitted via DocuSign or scanned. Please note, we cannot accept a typed signature.
 
Upon receipt of the above we will begin processing your request.
 
If I am to utilise DocuSign as advised, how should I? I’ve never utilised DocuSign before. Would I create an envelope, containing the uploaded images, for instance?

In retrospect, they likely asked for DocuSign signing from the sponsor, rather than me and after accessing the signing page, the signatures must be placed atop the document, so it wouldn’t be the correct tool for the task. I was thinking of DocuSign as more like IETF PGP.
