Can I get a Arizona Marijuana Card online? The answer is YES!

    Arizona Medical Marijuana Laws
    Arizona Department of Health

    The Arizona Medical Marijuana Use Registry is a secure, electronic, and online database for the registration of ordering MJ physicians and qualified MMJ patients. You must be added to the Medical Marijuana Registry to be able to obtain and use marijuana treatment products. Your first step in obtaining a medical card is to make an appointment with a medical doctor. Many MJ doctors offer a telemedicine option for appointments, so, if interested, check with your doctor to see if this is an option. To qualify as a medical marijuana patient, you must have been diagnosed with a qualifying debilitating medical condition and certified in writing by a physician (medical doctor, naturopath, osteopath, or homeopath) licensed to practice in Arizona. The written certification must be on a form provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services and submitted within 90 days before submitting a registry identification card application. The rules regarding medical marijuana are different for adults than for minors.

    Due to COVID-19, telemedicine is allowed in Arizona for initial appointments or renewals.

The out-of-state registration card has the same force and effect as a card issued in Arizona except that the visiting qualifying patient may not purchase medical marijuana in Arizona.

    Arizona Medical Marijuana Card - How to apply and get one!

    After receiving your certification from your doctor, you will need to apply to obtain a registry identification card from the Arizona Department of Health Services. To complete an online application, you must have certain documents and other items in digital format that will need to be uploaded, including a current photo, photo identification showing residency, the Medical Attestation Form (a form on which you testify that the information being submitted is true and confirmed by you by signature of the form), the Medical Marijuana Physician Certification Form, SNAP documentation (if applicable), and a method of payment for the registration fee. If the patient requires the medical assistance of a designated caregiver, the caregiver will also need to apply to the registry and be approved. A caregiver must have been designated by the patient who is being assisted. The patient must have already completed the online application and been approved by the ADHS before the designated caregiver may apply through the online system. Caregivers will also need to submit fingerprints with their application. Custodial parents or legal guardians of patients under 18 can apply online; however, the patient and the parent or legal guardian must apply together and all information must be entered into one application.
