All caregivers must be added to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry and submit a caregiver application to the Office of Medical Marijuana Use to obtain an identification card. Further requirements of caregivers can be found under section 381.986(6), Florida Statutes.

To maintain an active Medical Marijuana Use Registry identification card, a patient and/or caregiver must annually submit a renewal application, along with the application fee and any required accompanying documents to the department forty-five (45) days prior to the card expiration date. Please do not submit a renewal application until you are within the forty-five (45) day window of your card expiring. Identification cards expire one year after the date of approval. The expiration date of the identification card is printed on the front of the card. Patients and caregivers may renew their identification card via paper or electronic application. If submitting a paper application, please ensure the Renewal Application box is checked on the top of page 3 of the application.

If your application payment is returned/declined for any reason, there will be an additional $15 service fee required to process your application. A returned/rejected payment will require the applicant to mail a check or money order made payable to the Florida Department of Health totaling the original application fee plus the $15 service fee to our card application processing center.
