The city of San Diego works with ID.me to verify the identity of San Diego residents when applying for a City Resident ID card to access city-owned golf courses. This helps eliminate wait times to verify residency at the golf course. Verified residents also receive resident-specific rates. This article explains how to verify for residency in San Diego.
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.
