Wife wants to complete everything for husband?

I have a couple who are interested in my rental. She's started her job here at the university, he's still in another town finishing out a project. I've informed her that each adult occupant has to complete an application (I'm using erentpayment.com) and the SmartMove credit/background check. She's responded to say the husband (who I've not met) "works 12 hour rotating shifts, so I'm handling all housing inquiries & applications for our household. You may send his link to this [her] email account, and I will be the one to fill it out with his information."

As the applicant has to send scanned image of government-issued ID and proof of income by email as part of the application process. The husband works at a nuclear facility elsewhere in my state and I actually know people there and can confirm ID. However, I'm concerned that she intends to complete the online work on behalf of her husband. Isn't there something in those online programs that require people to verify their own identity?
