Florida Resident Annual Pass Question

[blu3d3vil]

I want to buy Fla Resident Annual Passes but I just moved to Florida and still have a Georgia drivers license. Will I be able to just provide my bank statement with my new address to prove my residency?

Thanks

Yes and out of state license and a bank statement with your new address will work. You can also use a mortgage statement, insurance statement, or utility bills. Whatever FL proof you use has to be dated within two months.

Awesome. Thx for the info. I feel much better now because I was worried we wouldn't be able to get them until we got our new licenses.

NO and GRRR that is the same mistake we made. We bought the condo and I put my husband in charge of setting up the utlities and of course they are now all in his name. He called and had me added but that is just on their end (you don't see it on the bill). If you don't have the utilities set up yet put one of them in your name.

We paid cash for our condo so no mortgage. So I use the insurance policy. I take the whole thing in and my name is on it as well. Last year we got a letter from the Orange County something or other (official) and it had both of our names on it so I took that too and that is what they used.

We want a bank account down there but haven't decided on what bank yet but I guess I will make that a priority before my AP comes up for renewal.

That's exactly what I did when I got my AP in September-- used a bank statement.

I was bouncing between MA and FL for a few months before moving down here permanently in November and didn't want to be left in the lurch just in case FL confiscated my MA ID. Truth be told, I still don't have my FL ID six months and five trips later, and it's never been a problem when using the AP's discounts and such.

Leota- I am pretty sure both of you would need to provide something, but they make it super easy for you to do so.

Technically, you are supposed to get a FL drivers license within 10 days of moving.

These are the official rules:

Florida Resident tickets are only available to actual Florida Residents and cannot be purchased for out-of-state family or friends.

An adult Florida Resident may purchase Florida Resident media for more than one Florida Resident from any location that provides an exchange certificate and not an actual ticket.

Children under the age of 18 are not required to provide proof of Florida residency if they are accompanied by an adult with valid proof of Florida residency

If the Guest has an exchange certificate, a valid form of Florida ID will be required when the exchange certificate is redeemed for the actual pass

One ticket only per valid proof of Florida residence (a Florida resident may buy tickets for minors in the party)

Exchange Certificates may say:

"After sale..., may not be transferred except as a gift." This means that the certificate may be given as a gift, so long as the recipient meets the defined Florida residency criteria.

"Purchase and redemption of this exchange certificate requires proof of Florida Residency."

The following items are the only documents accepted as proof of Florida Residency:
* Valid Florida State Drivers License
