You think there is a rule that says you always have to pick them up in
person?

From the website:

Q. Can someone go on my behalf to apply for the freedom pass?

A. No, you must apply in person. See How to apply for a freedom pass.

That is applying. I'm talking about picking it (or a replacement) up.

It doesn't explicitly say but the implication is that it's issued on the
spot

(and if it isn't surely they post it to you)

Is there a rule against having someone collect a replacement, if yours is
lost or needs renewing?

It's not really going to be covered by a "rule", more like a "procedure"
that is used for everyone.

The procedure "is what it is", and I think it unlikely that it will be
"someone collects it at a date/place different to the lodging of the
application" as that is not going to be convenient for many people.
