If I remember correctly, I also did not have mine and I told them, "no luck, what else?" They asked me questions about my last name, med school, and year of med school matriculation, and then emailed me my AAMC number. Good luck and I know that thing about needing a secretary. I ultimately set aside a whole Sunday afternoon to make a checklist of what I needed to send (e.g. who needs a notarized copy of the med school diploma, who needs just a plain old copy, how many need my USMLE scores, etc), fill out all the forms, write all the checks, and mail them to the appropriate place. It would be much easier if your residency director could just vouch for you with the fellowship programs. It makes me laugh because you send all the paperwork when you apply, and then when you are getting credentialed by the institution before you start, you need to send them the same paperwork again.
