VG, I'm with Jack on this one. You can do the whole thing for less than a dollar, to the presumed satisfaction of EMG (who will of course speak for himself on the issue). Surely, you have some sort of generally accepted picture ID. How do you cash a check otherwise?
Whatever it is, splurge on 15 cents to a quarter, and make a xerox copy. Fold it twice, put it in an envelope with a 37-cent stamp, and mail to WMM at its PO Box in Colorado Springs.
That's a total of 52-62 cents.
Everyone knows you're over 18. Your posts give enough details to fill a life of someone considerably older than 18.
There may be another problem, and you would need to check it with EMG. You weren't around for almost a month, and I think the slots were taken. He, of course, will give you more particulars.
You might also want to contact the present moderators and ask them what they do, how often they do it, what the level of excitement and responsibility is. Keep in mind that the site users are a fairly independent lot, and they don't want a guide or a teacher...and they don't want navel-centric advice.
My recommendation. Send the PMs first. They're free. If the responses are sufficiently positive, then splurge on the photocopy and the stamp.
