I am new at this. My significant other purchased a home in TV. He will be snowbirding and I unfortunately still work and will come down when I have my breaks. My name is not on the deed so I did not get an ID card. Is there a way that I can get one, besides registering temporarily everytime I come and visit. Thanks for the help. This site has been very helpful.

Also, what is Post a Poll at then end of this thread?

You can get a resident ID good for three years. You will need one of three items of identification -- for example: a passport; Florida driver's license showing the TV address; a utility or phone bill; bank statement; basically, three docs that prove you are who you say you are and that you live where you say you do. The homeowner will have to go with you.

Red is correct but the key point is that you have to prove you are a resident of that Villages address...hence the proofs she mentioned. If you live somewhere else and just visit here occasionally, the guest pass for each visit is your legal route.

If you are on the deed you get a resident ID regardless of how many or how few days you spend here.

Hi Pah,
Welcome to TOTV! Your best bet probably is to get a guest pass when you come down.

"Post a poll," is a feature of TOTV that lets you pose a poll question. If you had responded, yes, that you wanted to include a poll when you started this thread, it would have walked you through set up. You can set up yes or no answers or give people a range of choices. Responders click a button next to the their answer, and the answers are automatically tabulated.

For example, here is an example of a thread that includes a poll:
Income poll - Yearly Income?

When he bought the house he got his ID card as part of the amazing effortless procedure set into place with TV.

I just wonder what would happen if he went, deed and/or paperwork in hand, with you to the same place he got his ID issued, and explained the situation with you not being on the deed. I would bet, if the right person was on duty, you would get your permanent ID without any trouble. You don't have anything to lose. I'm not saying to be dishonest. What I have to go on with an answer to your question, is, you said, "My significant other." That can mean a lot of things.

Regardless, to me, it would be the same if the situation were, suppose, he got married after he got his ID and you didn't have the same last name. You would be entitled to an ID with your last name even if it didn't match his. They don't ask for marriage certificates. when issueing IDs. Does any of this make sense?

I think that your name has to be on the deed.

However, if that were the case, what would prevent anyone from doing a favor for a friend or relative by going to the office and saying the same thing? Proof of residency requirements make sense to me.

Even if you have to rely on temporary passes, you will find that once you have gotten a temporary pass for the first time, your information stays on file in TV system, so getting subsequent ones is a quick process.

The deed is in my name and for hubby Bill (whom I met after moving to TV) to apply for a permanent ID, he had to prove permanent residency by taking me as the deed holder, a FL auto registration, and FL license, and a bank statement all verifying the address as a permanent resident in TV.

These specific documents are what Bill used for verification of permanent residency, however, one can bring any form of documentation proving a valid TV permanent mailing address, i.e., could be a utility bill, for example. I recall that at least three forms of ID reflecting the TV address were required.

BTW, one can also get a permanent ID if not on the deed and not married by merely proving permanent residency at a particular address in TV. Having the same name is irrelevant.

P, I understand what you are saying. But a significant other is different than a friend or a relative. It would be up to the primary card holder what their relationship is about or how serious they are as far as letting them into their Florida home.

I've seen discussions on this forum about a TV resident dating someone in a neighboring county who could not attend events in TV because of their residency. Regardless of what advise you or I could give them, it is up to that person what the relationship involves and how serious they are with that person. But to me; a significant other is different.

If you own the house, you can always go and explain and revoke the other person's ID.

I do not understand what is wrong with having to register every three years. It is not a big inconvenience and it sticks with the rules that were set up.

Whether it is a significant other or a relative living in the house full time, they are not on the deed and need to reconfirm their residence.

It is a no brainer.
