Also in: Aktenfreund (Deutsch) · actamigo (Español) · attitriami (Français)

The one friend officially designated to be contacted about you — the emergency, medical, and biography holder.

The friendofrecord is named on forms, briefed on your history, and trusted to answer doctors, landlords, and worried relatives correctly. The designation is rarely spoken aloud and completely understood. Everyone has one; most people are also one.

Etym. — friend + of record — the friend as the official contact of your life, borrowed from legal phrasing.

Rel. — emergencykin · vaultfriend
