Their requirements all seem to be linked to the name on the account. I'm not 100% certain, but so long as you and your brother share the same last name, Customer Support may be able to help you out. They sounded like they could have helped us out if we were already married, so I guess that last-name connection may be all they need.

Best of luck getting your 'Lock back!

In my case, it was my brother's girlfriend's account that she had given back to him after they went their own separate ways. I really should have said, ooooh, fun game, let me get my own account, but I let it slide and no one ever had an issue with it until my account got hacked. Blizz was adamant about ID verification, and to be honest, I understand. At that point, I couldn't get ahold of her and ended up being completely burned, though no hard feeling to Blizz over the ordeal.

I still miss Nienna from time to time, but if I never lost her, I might still be tanking with a BE pally, not having nearly as much fun DPS'g with the Dark Arts on my side. Take my advice, try to push the brother relationship to see if an exception would be made. Don't expect one. Get your own account and never ever share it with anyone. Ever. Having started playing WoW at the end of the Vanilla era, I can tell you of numerous instances where friends, guildies, families and other assorted loved ones have learned the hard way that sometimes sharing is NOT caring.

As an aside, having an 8yr old son that plays WoW, I would never let him play if I couldn't log on as his parent to ensure that he is playing safe. It's a very different circumstance when you are literally responsible for the welfare and well-being of a minor. When he's 18, or older if he has earned the essential basics of trust and respect, his account will be his very own, and he can get his own account verifier to ensure his account security.

Edit: I know it doesn't sound helpful, but leveling is really EASY nowadays. If you get stuck re-rolling, it will be faster than the first time and you might even get your brother to hook you up with as much of your old gear and gold as you had accumulated on your previous toons. Best of luck.

Though from my past research, even if you DID have an issue with the transfer, its 100% "legal" to xfer toons between accounts if you're siblings.
