Florida residents age 65 or older only need a Florida Driver License or Identification Card to prove residency and age. They are not required to purchase the following recreational licenses and permits: Saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing and hunting licenses.”
Good information, but one key question. What constitutes a Florida residency? Does owning a home and paying more property taxes because you don’t have a homestead exemption qualify, or do you have to be a full timer that is registered to vote and file federal income taxes in Florida. Does a Villages ID prove residency?
