A.
No. In this type of ownership,
the only member card issued would
be to the trustee or designee of the
owning entity. That trustee or designee
can however designate one spouse or
adult person living with them (proven
by a valid government-issued photo
ID that clearly shows your physical
address is the same as the owner) as
a second member cardholder. All
other listed Members in these types
of ownership may only get guest cards
ordered by the member cardholder
of that entity.
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
OWNER QUESTIONS:
Q.
If I am an owner and have only
one member card in my name, can I
designate a second person to have a
member card?
A.
Yes, you can add a second person,
but that person must either be a
spouse (proven with a marriage cer-
tificate) or an adult person living with
you (proven by a valid government-
issued photo ID that clearly shows
your physical address) at either your
Pelican Bay address or your northern
physical address.
Q.
If my property is owned by a
legal entity, can my children receive
owner passes?
A.
No, unless the children are listed
as percentage owners separate from
the legal entity, they would not get
owners’ passes. If your children are
truly dependents as defined by the
IRS (ages 26 and under) and they have
a driver’s license with your listed physi-
cal address on the license, they can
get a dependent card valid for one
year at a time.
Q.
What if I have an adult child that
I wish to receive a member card?
A.
Unless they are truly dependent
as typically defined by the IRS
(ages 26 and under), they would not
qualify for a dependent card, but
you could order them a guest pass
as long as they are not Collier or Lee
County residents.
Q.
Can my dependent or designee
use a passport or mail addressed to
my home; utility bills, tuition invoices,
general correspondence or even bank
statements, as proof of living in
my home?
A.
No. Only a government-issued
photo ID may be used for proof of
dependency. A passport does not
contain an address.
Q.
I live overseas. We do not have
addresses on our driver’s license and
our country does not provide any other
form of government-issued photo
ID. How do my dependents or des-
ignees show that they qualify for a
Foundation card?
A.
Dependents and/or designees
need to produce some documentation
that they live together in their
home country.
1.
In this instance alone, utility,
cell phone bills, etc. clearly stating
the home address matching that of
the owner may be accepted.
2.
Copy of deed with each person’s
name on it
3.
Affidavit signed and notarized
by a Town official that they share
a domicile
Q.
Who can obtain a caregiver card?
A.
Caregiver cards are issued to
“owner designated” full-time live-in
caregivers for up to a six-month
period. They are renewable every six
months and cost $50 each time they
are renewed. We require that the owner
receiving the care is either present at
time of card issuance or that a signed
letter from the owner designating who
the caregiver will be is presented. The
Pelican Bay Foundation reserves the
right to call the owner and verify instruc-
tions to issue any Caregiver cards.
