We get them all the time at GHA, a solicitor or charity such as Shelter or Barlinnie Prison social workers acting on behalf of one of the tenants or ex-tenants.
As long as you get the proof of ID then it is not a problem. It is easier when you weigh up the protocols, Solicitors do not need a mandate as they have a legal right to act on someone's behalf (we still ask for one though, just to be safe). MPs, MEPs, MSPs or Welsh/NI Assembly MPs are also allowed to represent someone as they fall under the Elected Members constitution. Only folk who we need mandated is non-legal representatives and family members etc. Happy to provide further advice if needed :O)

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Proofs supplied for a SAR by a Third Party
I don't quite understand how a SAR can be issued against you by a third party with or without consent. Naive me thinks they are personal, and may even consider one to release information to a 3rd party as forced consent
