Adding a Caregiver
Selecting a Personal Caregiver
You have the option of designating a Personal Caregiver to assist you
with your medical use of marijuana. After your registration has been approved by the Program, you may log into the Online System and designate up to two personal caregivers who are not currently designated by another patient, unless that Personal Caregiver is your immediate family member.
Log into the Online System
Click on the 'My Caregivers' tab at the top of the page.
Generate PIN
Click on 'Generate PIN' for your personal caregiver. Provide the PIN to
your caregiver and direct them to register with the program in the
online system.
Approve Your Caregiver
After your caregiver has registered, click on 'My Caregivers' and follow
the instructions to approve your caregiver. After you approve your
caregiver, the program will process your caregiver’s registration.
Remember, there is no state application fee. Your registration is valid for one year starting from the date of submission. The CCC typically mails out cards in 3-5 business days. If you need assistance at any time, feel free to reach out to us!
