Commercial Identification Cards

Vendor Info

All documents should be sent via email. Please have your insurance agent/broker email your Certificate of Liability Insurance with additional insured endorsement directly to me. The application and agreement are fillable so you can save to your computer and send as an attachment. If you do not have access to a scanner for the other documents, you can go to FedEx, UPS or take a picture with your cellphone and send via email to me at jrauch@venturaharbor.com. Thank you.

The Commercial Identification Card (CID) card is for purposes of identification only, and is not intended to grant permission to any cardholder to enter onto any specific leasehold within the Ventura Harbor to perform a commercial activity, and must be renewed annually expiring on June 30th of each year.
