I just found out that when you get your new resident ID card, you will be given an new Village ID number.
This means that you will have to update your buddy lists on the Villages Golf Tee Time System with the new ID numbers. You might want to sent a note to all of your buddies to ask them for their new Village ID number so you can update your list and vice versa.

I believe the system makes automatic updates within 24 hours from the time you are assigned your new ID card, or so I was told. Call Customer Service if you have doubts.

Does everyone have to get new ID cards? You mention Customer Service? Is there a number? Never heard of Customer Service in TV. Thanks

I'm just so excited to be able to get another shot at a decent picture on my ID. The one I have now was taken in July late afternoon. You can just imagine what my hair looked like!

The new ID's suck ! ! ! I played golf this afternoon and the starter didn't regognize the card for what it was and told me that it wasn't what he needed to see. I told him to take another look. Another thing is that your name is in red print on a dark background. Many starters had trouble reading the old card, and now this.
I think not much thought went into this project ! !

When I heard about this I called Customer Service and they told me I would have to update all of my Buddy lists.
Please call CS to verify.

I went to the source and talked to thevillages.net and they had to do some research but according to them, the new Villages ID will replace the old Villages ID and will be propagated through the buddy lists. It will not be immediately but at midnight when they do their update process.
I probably should have checked with thevillages.net people first.
Sorry for the misinformation.

One member of our golf group received new Id's He and his wife received numbers. They were not consecutive like our present cards. What a mistake.

Another way for the powers to be to waste money. I'll keep my old card thank you and shell out the money instead for a modern performing arts centre instead of that "museum" at Savannah Center.

You were correct. I was given misinformation by the Customer Service rep I talked to. It also took the lady from thevillages.net about an hour to find out how it really worked and get back to me.

OK, this may be deemed as a "dumb" question, But....in today's (Sat) paper, it states there are two ID cards. One will be green and that signifies a Villages property owner, the other is blue (renewable every 3 years) signifies a legal villages resident. What is the difference? I know one is the owner, but what is a legal resident? A renter?
Thanks

I am pretty sure that is a a legal resident is someone living in the house that is not on the deed - ie a relative over 19 that is living in the residence. But like Bogie Shooter said - call the customer service center 352-753-4508 and if you get an answer, please post it here so we all know.
Thanks.

Get ready for a major undertaking if you have someone living with you and not on deed.
They have to have a utility in their name. ie cable,phone,elec or gas. Florida ID with address and bank acct with address. They do not care if are homesteaded in FL and other person is homesteaded in their vacation home in another state. Also if you are un- married and living together ( even if for years) too bad. Almost an invasion of privacy.
Waste of money or maybe the developer has an ID buisness.

For anyone who has been through the ID Renewal process...
Is there any complication if you have your house titled in a Revocable Living Trust with you as the trustee? Technically the house is not titled in your name but you are essentially still the owner.
Sam&Rog ... in the 'old' system, they asked for 3 forms of proof of FL/Villages residency to issue a resident ID to someone not on the title/deed. Voter ID card, drivers license, checking account, credit card statement, etc. They did not REQUIRE the person to have any of the local utilities in their name although those are acceptable forms of proof. Hopefully, this hasn't changed and the other aforementioned 'proofs' are sufficient.
I'm sure there are a lot of old, still valid IDs floating around being used by persons who are not currently residing in the Villages. Most of us have been through ID re-issuances with our work, communities, etc in the past. This process cleans the slate and is another measure to ensure the amenities and resident privileges are not being abused.

Did you have the trust when you got your first ID? Even if you had the trust set up after arriving in TV it is not will not be an issue for the purposes of ownership i.e. ID card.
The non consecutive numbering was introduced to minimize t time fraud. As in when one or the other is not golfing it is easy for the "cheater" to guess one number up or down.
Actually the entire process of getting a new ID is about as complicated as going to the post office and buying stamps. And when they tell you the new numbers will be in the golf system after midnight the day of getting the new card (that would be the next day)....it will be there...ours were with no hitches what so ever. I think TV group who put the program together has done a very good job. Now all they have to do is man the phones and handle the barrage of questions....over....and over.....and over again.
And those who don't like the new cards and planning to keep your old one, you can do so until 3/15/2011 when it automatically becomes null and void and deleted from the system.

I'm not so sure about the "good job"..from a technical standpoint, i.e., systems they appear to have it down pat. However, a "good job" means good communications and they haven't really done that. Perhaps they wanted a "soft opening" but by limited communications, they wind up sowing confusion. You can see it in the starters and even by reading this thread completely. We only knew because someone on our street found it on-line and sent it our street email list. We got our appointment and got our new ids in less than 10 minutes. The new golf id numbers are randomly generated by the system and update that night so there isn't much inconvenience except having to notify everyone about our new ids and committing them to memory. Those who plan to keep their old ids will be making appointments after March 15th next year because they are invalid after that date. Best just to call customer service and get an appointment and get it over with. A new id is no big deal and hopefully will keep out the non-Villagers from using our facilities. :beer3:
