How would you do this ?

My daughter has been staying with us for a long time and when the TV license was taken out many moons ago I sent her to go and do this. So the license is in her name and ID.
She has now moved out and I want to get a license in my/wife's name and do not want to be nailed for penalties etc.

I know that SABC works on ID numbers specifically and if I now apply, it will show up that I have never had a license and the sh*t is going to hit the fan !
Or, what about my wife does the application ?

Has anybody been through this ?
