Two potential problems:
1. An individual with a local address cannot get a guest ID. If your only address is your Villages address then that would be an issue.

2. The ID system knows your name and birthdate for your regular IDs. It *could* flag an attempt to obtain a guest ID for someone who has already been issued a regular ID.

Easy enough to call the Rec Center or Customer Service to ask the question.
Good advice. Since the OP also has a legal residence up north, that address can be used to get guest ID’s. That being said, point number two above could still be an issue. The other bummer is that even though you are a resident, using a guest ID will not get you resident benefits such as free executive golf (trail fees aside), resident Championship golf rates, or use of the sports pools. But I guess that’s the cost of surrendering your resident ID’s so your tenants (I won’t call you a slumlord if you have responsible, over 55, long term tenants) can get resident ID’s.
