# Submit a Form for Someone Else

You may find yourself in need of having to submit a form for someone else. This often happens when a potential adopter doesn't have access to a computer or is unable to access the online forms, for whatever reason. You can easily submit a form for them from your RescueGroups.org account.

**Where do I find it?**
