Houston and ID.me – ID.me Help Center

The city of Houston works with ID.me to verify the identity of Houston residents when applying for a pass to access Memorial Park Golf Course. This helps eliminate wait times to verify residency at the golf course by collecting payment in advance. Verified residents also receive resident-specific rates. This article explains how to verify for residency in Houston.

Before you verify

You must use the same email address for your foreUP and ID.me accounts. ForeUP is what you’ll sign into to schedule your tee times.
Rather than bring physical credentials to the golf course in person to prove residency, residents can apply for an ID card and verify eligibility online.
This verification process prevents non-residents from fraudulently obtaining a Resident ID card.
